Georgia offensive line transfer Austin Blaske didn’t think he would end up in Chapel Hill after entering the transfer portal. Before taking an official visit to UNC, his intentions were to play for rival Georgia Tech. Then, he stepped foot on campus. "I came up here and visited and I fell in love with the place. I was like 'I think this is where I’m gonna go.'"
