Sophomore linebacker Cayson Collins makes his case for a starting position
Posted Aug 17, 2015
With 17 days until the Tar Heels’ season opener against South Carolina, sophomore Cayson Collins is battling junior Joe Jackson for the final starting outside linebacker position. After practice, Collins turns to roommate and senior linebacker Jeff Schoettmer to see how he can help his chances. “He’s always willing to learn,” Schoettmer said. “He’s not satisfied with where he is.”
