Jeff Schoettmer discusses UNC linebacker competition
Posted Aug 10, 2013
After a stellar career at UNC, linebacker Kevin Reddick graduated and took his skills to the NFL, signing a free agent contract with the New Orleans Saints. Back in Chapel Hill, in the void created by Reddick's departure, two players are battling it out to fill his shoes. Jeff Schoettmer and Dan Mastromatteo are the two guys looking to become a starter at the "Will" position.
