UNC's Gritty Glue-Guy LB with Captain's Heart
Redshirt junior Gibson Macrae (5-11, 225 lbs) is a high-motor run-stuffer and special teams sparkplug for the Tar Heels, appearing in all 13 games in 2023 with 1 tackle while logging key snaps; a three-year high school captain at Pinecrest with 165 career tackles and All-State honors, his relentless intensity, team-first mentality, and academic All-ACC nod (2023) make him a coach's dream for depth roles—perfect for teams needing tough, reliable special teams and late-game insurance without the prima donna vibe.
