Power Echols

The UNC football program didn’t just get some big production from true freshmen on the offensive side of the ball against Georgia State. They also got it from their defensive unit.

Freshman linebacker Power Echols hauled in his first interception as a Tar Heel on Saturday night. If it wasn’t for him stepping out of bounds, the play would have resulted in a pick-six.

Along with his first career interception, Echols recorded four tackles (two solo) in the victory. He helped the Tar Heels’ defense stifle the Georgia State offense, especially in the second half.

The Tar Heels are very high on Echols, and you can see why given his performance early on this season. Given his ability and what he is able to do on the football field, expect Echols to be a major part of the team’s defensive unit for the foreseeable future.
