Cole Holcomb drafted By Washington in 5th Round

Cole Holcomb became the first Tar Heel drafted on Saturday when he was selected by Washington in the 5th round with the 173rd pick. It wasn't a huge class for linebackers, but Holcomb had impressed with his exceptional athleticism. Holcomb came to North Carolina as a walk-on after receiving almost no interest from FBS schools out of high school. (Tar Heel Blog)
