Cayson Collins knows UNC's linebackers can improve

Posted Mar 29, 2017
Carolina returns most of their linebacking corps that outperformed expectations last year. Underclassmen Cole Holcomb and Andre Smith led the team in tackles with 115 and 113 respectively. Rising senior Cayson Collins added 60 total tackles of his own but knows his unit can improve in 2017. "Tackling," Collins said. "Getting off the block and tackling.” (Carolina Blue)
