Donnie Miles setting the tone in UNC football's secondary

For North Carolina redshirt sophomore safety Donnie Miles, it’s the mental part of his game that has set him apart so far this season.

In 2014, Miles occupied the ram position in the Tar Heels’ lineup, where he started six games.

In the hybrid spot, the redshirt sophomore finished fifth on the team in tackles with 53 and racked up four tackles for loss, one sack and one pass breakup.

But after Gene Chizik was tabbed as UNC’s new defensive coordinator in January and a new defensive system was implemented, Miles has had to adjust to a new position at strong safety.
