## Resource

North Carolina’s defense is getting a Belichick overhaul—with Brian Belichick running the secondary and the linebacker corps now anchored by FCS transfer Peyton Seelmann and former Syracuse standout Derek McDonald. With big money poured into the program and high expectations, the success of these two linebackers could make or break the Tar Heels’ ability to turn a bend-but-don’t-break defense into a top-tier unit. McDonald’s fit at MIKE and the coaching’s ability to elevate their play will be critical—if they falter, the middle of the field could become a glaring weakness.
