North Carolina Tar Heels 2016 Spring Football Preview

Posted Mar 3, 2016
The succession plan that is in place in Chapel Hill is perfect. Marquise Williams departs; Mitch Trubisky steps in. The junior-to-be from Mentor, Ohio, was outstanding during his opportunities in 2015, completing a stunning 85 percent of his passes for six touchdowns against no interceptions. This spring, the team is his and everyone will be watching to see how he responds. (Athlon Sports)
