Ah, special teams.
The unit that a lot of fans forget about but one that almost always has a major impact in every game whether it’s kicking, punting and even on returns. For the Tar Heels, the special teams unit has been a struggle over the past few years and in 2019 there will be a big turnover.
UNC will return just two key players on special teams in returner Dazz Newsome and kicker Noah Ruggles. Newsome is UNC’s best return man and showed that in 2018. But as for Ruggles? Well, he kicked in just one game last season.
