The defense had a very impressive showing in the 2021 North Carolina Tar Heels Spring game. The Carolina "D" had a sack or tackle for loss an impressive once every 4.6 plays. In total, the defense compiled 5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, an interception, and 4 pass breakups on the day. Eugene Asante led the way with 4 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 tackles for loss. True freshman Power Echols stood out as well and should excite fans. Red-shirt freshman Christopher Holiday added an impressive interception on the goal line to close out the game.
