Reflections from Shakeel Rashad, Jeff Schoettmer

Posted Jul 24, 2018
Shakeel Rashad and Jeff Schoettmer started all 14 games in 2015 at linebacker for North Carolina. The senior duo combined for 223 tackles, Rashad with 127 and Schoettmer with 97, good for second and third best on the team. They helped a defense make strides in their last season in Chapel Hill and were key cogs in UNC's 11-3 record and ACC Coastal Division title. (Inside Carolina)
