UNC linebacker Chazz Surratt led the Tar Heels with nine tackles in Saturday’s 31-6 season-opening win over visiting Syracuse. His effort has earned him recognition as the Chuck Bednarik Award Player of the Week. The preseason All-ACC selection set new career highs with two sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss. The senior is playing just his second season at linebacker, making the transition last offseason after spending the first two years playing quarterback. It was a flawless transition for Surratt as he was UNC’s leading tackler and finished the year as the conference’s runner up for defensive player of the year.
