Demon June's Big Season Ahead | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

Demon June’s name is heating up as he joins the Doak Walker Award preseason watch list — a crowded field of 60 backs, but one that signals serious expectations for UNC’s star runner. Last season, despite team struggles, June dominated with 464 rushing yards, 2 TDs, and another 159 receiving yards on top of his TD — proving he’s the offense’s heartbeat. With a new QB expected to lean into the run game, June’s chances to shine are high — though the offensive line’s health remains a wildcard. While hitting 1,000 yards feels unlikely, a breakout sophomore year could mean 800+ rushing yards and 200+ receiving yards — a huge win for UNC. What’s your take? Where do you see him finishing?
