With the 2022 college football season here, it’s never a bad time to look at the program history for the North Carolina Tar Heels. And that’s exactly what we are doing here at Tar Heels Wire with this very special project.
Over the past few weeks, we have been busy putting together our all-time roster for the Tar Heels, focusing on the best players in history for the program on offense, defense, and special teams. We picked a starter and a backup for each position.
Take a look below at the starting lineup for defense along with the backups for our all-time greatest Tar Heels on defense.
