UNC, John Papuchis Looking to Establish Defensive Identity in 2017

Posted Feb 27, 2017
At 38 years old, John Papuchis is still a young man to be in the position of defensive coordinator at a Power Five program. He’s not as young as he was when he was promoted to defensive coordinator at the age of 31 at Nebraska – when he was the youngest DC in college football. Despite his age, he’s served alongside some of the most well known defensive coaches in the nation. (Inside Carolina)
