Holcomb, Stewart help lead UNC defense

Posted Dec 25, 2016
If the Tar Heels are going to be successful against Stanford in this year's Sun Bowl on Friday, the play of linebacker Cole Holcomb and cornerback M.J. Stewart will likely be key. Both players have been key playmakers for the 8-4 Tar Heels. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Holcomb, who hails from New Smyrna Beach, Fla, is second on the team in tackles with 105. (El Paso Times)
