UNC linebacker Shakeel Rashad tackles new position with ease
Posted Oct 2, 2015
Transitioning from playing the bandit position in UNC’s 4-2-5 scheme in 2014, Shakeel Rashad has excelled as an outside linebacker this season. The senior is third on the team in tackles, second in turnovers forced and tied for first in tackles-for-loss. And after notching two tackles in each of his first two games, Rashad has amassed 18 tackles in the previous two contests — matching his 2014 season total.
