UNC Football Position Preview: Defensive Line

Posted Aug 1, 2017
Compared to previous seasons, UNC's defensive line is locked, stocked, and loaded. Heading into fall camp they are fully healthy and, with the exception of Nazair Jones and Mikey Bart, return every key contributor. This season, talent, experience, and depth litter the defensive side of the roster. The defensive line will be the key to whatever success the Heels have. (Tar Heel Blog)
