Most Important Player: North Carolina

Posted May 2, 2012
Our series continues today with the Tar Heels, who will look to pick up the pace in Year 1 under coach Larry Fedora: WR Erik Highsmith was second on the team last season with 51 catches for 726 yards and five touchdowns. The offensive line may have to do the most adjusting, but no single player on the offense (outside of the signal-caller, of course) is more important than Highsmith. (ESPN.com)
