Year 2 of Gene Chizik’s rebuild has been aided by the experience and leadership of Nazair Jones and Andre Smith.
Carolina’s defense has been the topic most discussed when talking about the Tar Heel football program over the last two years.

A rebuild is rarely completed overnight, that’s where the importance of leadership and buying into the new system and culture introduced comes into play.
