UNC football looking for ‘thunder and lightning’ as Tar Heels hope to improve pass rush

Posted Mar 26, 2023
UNC senior Kaimon Rucker believes that the Tar Heels’ pass rush now contains the thunder and lightning to jolt the team into being more effective. The Tar Heels ranked last in the ACC in 2022 with 17 sacks. Rucker cited the addition of Amari Gainer from Florida State as a reason they should be better. "It’s like a thunder-and-lightning effect with us." (AOL.com)
