Fight for Starting Linebacker Spot Continues
Posted Aug 5, 2015
UNC head coach Larry Fedora does not mind waiting until the last moment to announce a starter. Now with a new defense, we'll have to wait and see who the trio of starting linebackers in this 4-3 scheme will be. The first two spots have been locked down by seniors Jeff Schoettmer and Shakeel Rashad. Junior Joe Jackson and sophomore Cayson Collins are vying for the third starting spot.
