Paschal Vying For Starting Role

Posted Aug 8, 2006

Any questions concerning Mark Paschal’s toughness were answered when he knocked a Utah return man sideways last season. Immediately following the hit, Kenan Stadium fans in unison turned to one another and asked, “Who’s No. 41?” “I like to think of myself as a pretty tough guy,” said No. 41, sophomore linebacker Mark Paschal. He is currently in a dead heat with senior Victor Worsley for North Carolina’s starting MIKE linebacker spot. (Inside Carolina)
