Ebele Okakpu's Moment
Posted Aug 29, 2011
North Carolina senior linebacker Ebele Okakpu is no stranger to the field---having played in most all of UNC's games over the past three seasons when he wasn't injured---but it wasn't until this past spring that he was in position to start. The Tar Heels had been set with its first-team outside linebackers for three years with Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant, as Okakpu served as one of the key backups to those two standpoints.
