Yesterday North Carolina landed three-star LB Michael Short. RivalsFriedman with more on the commitment and what it means for the Tar Heels:
Short is a physical linebacker who can get into the backfield and create chaos. He’s a versatile prospect who can put his hand in the ground and rush off the edge or play any of the linebacker positions. Short has a frame that can hold a lot more solid mass and the Tar Heel strength and conditioning staff should be able to mold his frame how they see fit. There will be an adjustment period for Short as he gets used to the speed of the college game.
He’ll also have to get used to fending off blockers who are much stronger and more advanced than he’s used to. Short does have some ability in coverage but he’ll mainly be counted on as a playmaker near the line of scrimmage.This is an important addition for North Carolina after losing a commitment from Kaveion Keys. Short has a lot of similar abilities to Keys and should be able to fill the void left by him in this class.
