Demon June Shines on Watch List | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

Demon June is heating up the college football scene, earning a spot on the preseason Doak Walker Award watch list — the running back equivalent of the Heisman. As a freshman, he dominated UNC’s offense, leading the team in rushing with 464 yards and two touchdowns while also catching 17 passes for 159 yards. His breakout game came against Syracuse, where he rushed for 100+ yards and scored, plus added another TD through the air. His first start vs. Richmond was historic — 148 rushing yards and a TD, the most by a freshman RB at UNC since Michael Carter in 2017. With the Tar Heels set to open their season against TCU in Dublin on Aug. 29, June’s rise could be just the spark this offense needs. Watch this one closely — he’s got serious upside.
