Safety Don Chapman’s Arrival at UNC

Don Chapman committed and decommitted from Colorado and Washington State his senior year. He didn’t decommit from WSU until Dec. 21, 2018.

Tar Heels Adjusting, Essentially Starting Anew

Mack Brown admittedly has a jokester side to his personality. He calls it being a “smart aleck” and his players have all witnessed this side of the North Carolina coach more than a few times.

Eric Ebron's got a message for all the Mitch Trubisky haters

It’s no secret that Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky doesn’t have many supporters after an underwhelming three-year career.

Trey Morrison, Sam Howell Discuss The Constant Changes & More

Trey Morrison and Sam Howell met with the media Wednesday to discuss last week’s game cancellation and how the team is responding. Morrison discussed his position switch from corner to safety.

How UNC Punter Ben Kiernan Found His Calling

Although UNC always seemed like a potential fit to Ben Kiernan, it wasn’t until former punter Tom Sheldon abruptly left the Tar Heels in the spring of 2018 that they started recruiting him. Quickly, Ben developed a rapport with then-head coach Larry Fedora; his son Dillon, a special teams quality control assistant; and special teams coordinator Luke Paschall. (Inside Carolina)

UNC Knows The Feeling After Notre Dame-Wake Forest Game Is Postponed

Notre Dame vs Wake Forest is the latest COVID-19 postponement. The game this weekend on hold after the Irish found seven new positive tests on their football team.
