Tar Heels QB Battle & Belichick’s Pressure | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

College football kicks off with North Carolina facing TCU in Dublin, but the Tar Heels’ QB situation is shaky—Billy Edwards Jr. might not survive past Week 1. If he falters, ONeill and Burgess are ready to step up. Defensively, corners Jaiden Patterson and Kaleb Cost anchor the back end, while safety depth is a battle between veterans Greg Smith and Coleman Bryson and freshman Jakob Weatherspoon. At tight end, four players—Shamar Easter, Jaxxon Warren, Jelani Thurman, and Jordan Washington—are competing for the lead, with Warren and Thurman standing out. And all eyes are on Bill Belichick: after underwhelming results last year and with GM on leave, he needs a big win against TCU—or risk his future in college football.
