Noon Dish: Status Check - UNC Defense

Inside Carolina football recruiting expert Don Callahan joins Tommy Ashley for a status check and review of potential portal needs for the North Carolina defense. Callahan discusses the current roster along with incoming freshmen and how those two groups of talent blend to determine necessary additions once the portal opens in January. The discussion wraps with a quasi ranking of the strength of each position group on both sides of the ball.
