UNC stocking up on linebacker talent in 2016 recruiting class
Posted Jan 20, 2016
The Tar Heels have addressed needs at linebacker very well in the 2016 class, and still have a big fish or two out there who could add to an impressive group. The four man linebacker class includes a pair of early enrollees -- junior college outside linebacker J.B. Copeland and inside linebacker Jonathan Smith. The prospect with the highest ceiling might well be Tyrone Hopper out of Roswell, Georgia.
