Replacing the ACC's Stars: Coastal Division

Posted May 7, 2015
North Carolina's biggest loss: OLB Norkeithus Otis; Otis’ workload from 2014 will be divided up a bit in 2015. Look for Shakeel Rashad, who moves from bandit to a more traditional LB role, and Joe Jackson, who moves into the starting Will LB spot vacated by Travis Hughes, to step up. Both had strong springs, Jackson perhaps the Tar Heels' most improved player. (ESPN.com)
