Knee injury to UNC defensive tackle Aaron Crawford sets back position group

Posted Aug 25, 2018
Coming into the 2018 season, the UNC defensive line was expected to be a major strength for the program. Led by three upperclassmen and a talented sophomore, the unit was deep and filled with veterans. But now, what was once certain has been called into question. Aaron Crawford, a redshirt junior defensive tackle and leader, went down earlier this week with a knee injury during practice. (Daily Tar Heel)
