Abou Jaoude Out for Home Opener | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News
Description
UNC’s home opener is in jeopardy without star defensive lineman Melkart Abou Jaoude, sidelined by a hand injury sustained in their Week Zero game against TCU. The 2023 All-ACC second-teamer, who racked up 10.5 sacks and forced a fumble in his last outing, is expected to miss the game with a cast — but could return for the ACC opener against Clemson next weekend. With an FCS opponent on tap, the Tar Heels are wisely prioritizing his long-term health. Expect Donovan Hoilette Jr., Calvin Thomas, and David Jackson III to step up as the defensive line reshuffles — classic “next man up” time.
