UNC Football: Position Preview - Defensive Line

Simply put, the defensive line for the North Carolina Tar Heels was not very good last season.

UNC ranked 128 of 131 FBS teams in sacks and 130th in tackles for loss. Quarterback hurries and pressure was nonexistent, and there was not much to say about a rush defense that ranked 86th in the nation.

Two jacks, one linebacker, and one cornerback had multiple sacks last year. Only three of the defensive linemen listed below had a sack, with each tallying just one.

Needless to say, the defensive linemen need to find a way to get to the quarterback without relying on help from the next level.
