Linebacker J.B. Copeland settles in with UNC football after Twitter recruitment

Posted Oct 19, 2016
UNC linebackers coach John Papuchis was in a tough situation a year ago. The Tar Heels suffered some unexpected losses at linebacker and were in the market for a transfer or junior college player to join the program. They found one in J.B. Copeland, a physical, 6-foot-3 prospect from Navarro College. How UNC's coaching staff found Copeland, though, is a unique story. (Daily Tar Heel)
