Leroy Jackson is a promising UNC freshman DL with disruptive upside
Jackson enters North Carolina as a **three-star defensive lineman** and the nation’s **33rd-ranked DL**, with a high-production prep résumé that included **120 tackles, 19 sacks, and 38 tackles for loss** in his final high school season. UNC’s listing points to his blend of size and interior toughness, while his early college stat line shows he is already getting on the field and contributing in run defense. He looks like a fit for teams that value **motor, versatility up front, and developmental upside** rather than an instant-producer profile.
