UNC Football’s biggest transfer portal wins were the ones it didn’t lose
Posted Jan 9, 2026
There's no question UNC Football has gotten off to a hot start in the transfer portal window that ends Jan. 16. The Tar Heels have had 10 commitments as of Thursday, and that number will continue to increase. However, the two biggest portal victories for the Tar Heels were retaining pass rusher Melkart Abou-Jaoude and wide receiver Jordan Shipp.
