UNC veteran DBs in and out of spring mix
Posted Apr 12, 2013
Several Tar Heel defensive backs have taken advantage of extra repetitions in the first and second rotations, while others have been shelved with various injuries. "We've got a couple hurt guys," said rising senior cornerback Jabari Price, one of a core of UNC defensive backs, including Darien Rankin, Sam Smiley, T.J. Jiles, and Malik Simmons, who have missed some or all of spring workouts.
