Tar Heels spend spring looking for Trubisky's successor
Posted Apr 8, 2017
Mitch Trubisky declared for this month's NFL draft after just one season as the starter. And that left young quarterbacks like sophomore Nathan Elliott, and redshirt freshmen Chazz Surratt and Logan Byrd to get heavy work through spring drills, ending with Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage. Coach Larry Fedora said none of them are ready to lead the offense in a game yet.
