Billy Edwards' journey to become UNC’s starting quarterback

As a baby-faced, freckled, and scrawny eighth grader, it takes a certain level of confidence to go up to your future football coach and introduce yourself. It takes even more to tell him you are going to be a professional quarterback one day. That’s exactly what Billy Edwards Jr. did. Bill Belichick officially named Edwards as North Carolina's starter Friday. (Daily Tar Heel)

Bill Belichick says drivers on 'wrong side,' rain among Dublin adjustments

Before UNC gets to the game plan, there were other important lessons for the Tar Heels to learn once they arrived in Ireland on Thursday. When crossing the street, looking right when you’d normally look left. While football will be the same, even if the game is played in the rain, people drive on the left side of the road. "You’ve got to get used to that." (Tar Heel Tribune)

Defensive Coordinator Steve Belichick Absent From Practice in Dublin Ahead of TCU Opener

UNC defensive coordinator Steve Belichick was not present at the Tar Heels' open practice Thursday in Dublin, Ireland, multiple sources report.

North Carolina's Offensive Line Concern

The biggest concern and what will ultimately decide the fate of the Tar Heels this year is offensive line. When you look at this group, you’ve got to have Christo Kelly stay healthy at center. Beyond that, you’ve got to have him play well. I know tackles get a lot of attention for good reason, but if you can’t hold up in the middle, everything falls apart anyway. (Inside Carolina)

Chansky’s Notebook: Fool Me Once...

Little Kool-Aid will be consumed by UNC Football fans before kickoff in Dublin. Fool me once but not again.

Bill Belichick’s Second UNC Campaign Must Show Improvement, Stability

Bill Belichick’s 50-year coaching career, which has included six Super Bowl titles as a head coach and two more as a defensive coordinator, clearly certifies him as one of the greatest minds in the sport’s history. However, Belichick is 74 years old, and his maiden voyage in the college ranks was a disaster. The 2025 UNC Tar Heels finished 4-8. (Chapelboro.com)

UNC WR Trech Kekahuna's underdog mentality separates him from the pack

UNC junior receiver Trech Kekahuna stares down his goals for the season. Messages written by the undersized Hawaiian remind him to trust the process, take things one step at a time, and stay grounded. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. While cliche, the phrase rings true for the 5-foot-10 Wisconsin transfer. (Daily Tar Heel)

Four veterans look to anchor UNC football’s offensive line

After the Tar Heels fielded the second-least productive offense in the ACC in 2025, averaging just 19.3 points per game, offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino was tasked with giving UNC a fresh start behind the ball. Petrino is stepping into his first season as the Tar Heels’ offensive coordinator after serving as Arkansas’ interim head coach in 2025. (Daily Tar Heel)
