North Carolina
Holcomb is an ideal fit as a weak-side linebacker in a traditional 4-3 defense, where he can leverage his sideline-to-sideline speed and coverage ability.
Year 1 as a rotational sub-package coverage specialist with ceiling to develop into a three-down weak-side starter.
A two-gap 3-4 defense that asks linebackers to consistently take on and shed blocks from interior linemen.
Scheme fit is critical due to Holcomb's tweener build and strengths. His value will diminish significantly in schemes that do not align with his athletic profile.
