North Carolina redshirt freshman quarterback Cade Fortin will enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to multiple sources. Fortin's decision comes after Mack Brown named true freshman Sam Howell the Tar Heels' first-team quarterback. Last week, UNC offensive coordinator Phil Longo said Fortin was the "best pure passer" of a three-man quarterback race. (Inside Carolina)
