Tommy Davis brings veteran strength and elite Tar Heel bench power off the edge
In the 2026 season, Tommy Davis enters his third year as North Carolina’s starting right defensive end, and his calling card is obvious: power, leverage, and steady production around the line of scrimmage. UNC lists him at 6-foot-2, 257 pounds, and says he owns the program’s bench press record at 460 pounds, which fits the profile of a rugged, high-motor edge setter rather than a pure speed rusher.[1] He’s the kind of defender a coach can trust against the run, and his experience makes him a stabilizing fit for a front that needs toughness and consistency.[1]
