Tar Heels senior Norkeithus Otis ready to lead defense

Posted Aug 17, 2014
If UNC is to pick up where it left off, senior bandit Norkeithus Otis will likely have a lot to do with it. The Tar Heels lost their best player in their front six from last season, defensive end Kareem Martin. Their most productive player in the secondary, safety Tre Boston, is also gone. So who can UNC most count on entering this season? Coach Larry Fedora answered quickly. “Norkeithus Otis,” he said. (Charlotte Observer)
