Quarterback Gio Lopez's journey to North Carolina: 'The opportunity was enough'

Posted Aug 27, 2025
The plan wasn’t always clear for sophomore quarterback Gio Lopez. Growing up, the transfer from South Alabama's first love was baseball. And although that changed to a passion for the gridiron, he didn’t gravitate to the signal caller position. Starting out, Lopez didn’t even want to play offense. His father had to convince him to give quarterback a shot. (Daily Tar Heel)
