Bryn Renner leads Heels trying to replace T.J. Yates
Posted Mar 17, 2011
Spring football practice opened Wednesday for North Carolina, and for the first time in five seasons, the Tar Heels will have a new quarterback. Coach Butch Davis hasn't designated a starter, but redshirt sophomore Bryn Renner is expected to be the front-runner after taking more than half the snaps with the first team in practice last season. Former starter T.J. Yates graduates this spring.
