Jeff Longhany emerged as a key UNC linebacker with starter-level production down the stretch
Longhany showed real value in the 2025 season, appearing in 11 games and starting the final four at outside linebacker while finishing sixth on the team with 53 tackles, including 36 solo stops and 17 assisted tackles[1]. That profile points to a dependable, physically active defender who can hold up in snaps when asked to step into a bigger role. If you want a linebacker who already looks comfortable in game action and brings reliable tackling volume, he’s the kind of fit worth tracking.
