Cedric Gray moves into UNC football record book

Linebacker Cedric Gray moves up on the UNC football all-time tackles list after the Campbell game.

The North Carolina Tar Heels football program ended an ugly losing streak by beating Campbell at home on Saturday. It was a much-needed win for the Tar Heels after losing to Virginia and Georgia Tech in disappointing fashion.

While UNC’s offense was clicking throughout the game, the defense also stepped up and made sure Campbel never got closer than seven points. And a big reason why was the play of Cedric Gray.

The linebacker finished the game with 9 total tackles, tying Power Echols for the lead in the 59-7 win. And with that, he made some history.

Gray has moved into 10th place all-time in tackles for the Tar Heels’ football program, hitting 333 all-time.

The linebacker has really elevated his game since arriving on North Carolina’s campus including a breakout season a year ago. He’s continued that momentum into this season and has developed into one of the best linebackers in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
