Billy Edwards Jr. Takes Over at UNC | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

UNC’s new starting quarterback is Billy Edwards Jr., a seasoned transfer from the portal with experience at Wake Forest, Maryland, and Wisconsin — including a starting role at Maryland and a brief stint at Wisconsin before injury. With Gio Lopez gone, Edwards steps in to lead the offense under Bill Belichick and new OC Bobby Petrino, aiming to turn around a disappointing 4-win season. Named starter in August over Miles ONeill, Edwards, now 23 and entering his sixth year of eligibility, brings proven game management skills and a chance to shine in Week Zero against TCU in Ireland. The Tar Heels are banking on him to be the spark they need. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
