Former Arkansas OT Shaq McRoy Discusses why he Committed to UNC Football

Posted Jan 12, 2026
Shaq McRoy could be UNC's starting right tackle next season, and that might be part of the reason he committed to the Tar Heels as a transfer from Arkansas. "The whole staff is former NFL at all their positions which I feel will put me over the top when it's time to get drafted. I want the fans to know I'm not leaving in a year and I'm all the way in for UNC." (TarHeel247)
