UNC returns its best corner (M.J. Stewart), and its best safety (Donnie Miles) from the 2016 season. Sophomore Myles Dorn is expected to take over the open safety spot. Dorn saw time at safety in all 13 games last season. Beyond Stewart, junior Corey Bell Jr. and sophomore Patrice Rene are the two names who have seen the most time at cornerback.
