What A Difference A Year Makes For Jonathan Smith

Posted Aug 11, 2018
The difference in just about everything for North Carolina junior linebacker Jonathan Smith during this preseason camp as opposed to a year ago is nearly off the charts. There are very few similarities other than his jersey number (7), body (6-1, 230 pounds) and that he still plays linebacker for the Tar Heels. Smith is a whole new player, which is a good thing for the Heels. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
