UNC Football Ranked 19th In 247Sports' Preseason Top 25

Posted Jun 9, 2020
19. North Carolina is the team with the best chance to jump from fringe bowl team to division contender. Sophomore record-setting quarterback Sam Howell is the biggest plus. UNC also brings back 17 starters, including 10 on offense. All six of its losses last season were by a possession or fewer. Those games won’t all go against the Tar Heels this fall. (247 Sports)
