By Pat James, GoHeels.com

Through the first four games of last season, Myles Wolfolk felt as if he was coming into his own.

Thrust into a starting role after Myles Dorn sustained an injury in North Carolina's season opener, Wolfolk filled in admirably during his longtime roommate's absence, taking command of the secondary and tallying 23 tackles. Only Cole Holcomb had more. Even more impressive, Wolfolk did all that while fighting through a shoulder injury.

When he suffered the injury, Wolfolk said he thought it was season-ending.
