Tar Heels Build Linebacker Depth
Posted Aug 8, 2006
To say that junior linebacker Durell Mapp had a breakout season last year would be an understatement. In just six starts, he made 46 tackles (22 solo), tied for the team lead with two forced fumbles and picked up a sack. But when you say the name "Durell Mapp," even some Carolina fans would likely respond, "Who?" Despite performances like his forced fumble and team-leading 11 tackles against Duke, Mapp has somehow remained under the radar.
