New and old faces form UNC's defensive line
Posted Mar 29, 2017
The North Carolina Tar Heels have quite a few new faces manning the defensive line at practice this spring. Nazair Jones and Mikey Bart (graduated) are pursuing NFL dreams, and UNC has a new coach on the defensive line, former ECU defensive line coach Deke Adams. On top of that, UNC added a trio of freshman in Jake Lawler, Jordon Riley and Xach Gill.
