Norkeithus Otis settles into leadership role

Posted Mar 11, 2014
North Carolina veteran defender Norkeithus Otis came into his own during the fall of 2013 as he settled into a full-time starting role for the Tar Heels. After combining to play in 17 games in a backup role in 2011 and 2012 as a true freshman and sophomore, Otis emerged as UNC's starter at the 'Bandit' position in 2013 producing 49 combined tackles (35 solo), good enough for eighth on the team.
