2026/08/21

UNC’s special teams, though solid and 25th nationally last year, lost their coach—replaced by assistant Billy Miller, who now faces a tall order: integrating 60 new players while keeping the kicking game sharp. Gone is their reliable long snapper, a quiet but crucial piece, while return specialist Rece Verhoff returns strong after nailing 19 of 23 field goals. Punting remains uncertain with transfer Jacob Horvath in the mix, and kickoffs are expected to be handled by LSU transfer Aeron Burrell,

Billy Edwards Jr. has officially earned the starting quarterback role for North Carolina, set to lead them into their opener against TCU in Dublin — a decision that came after a fierce training camp battle with Miles ONeill. While O’Neill impressed enough to start a scrimmage and challenge for the job, Edwards Jr.’s experience tipped the scales. The Tar Heels now boast depth at QB, which is a strength — but some wonder if having two top options signals a lack of clear leadership. With eyes on

North Carolina Tar Heels have named Billy Edwards Jr. as their starting quarterback for 2026, a transfer from Wisconsin who missed most of 2025 with injury but brings the most experience on the roster. A standout in his first season at Maryland in 2024, Edwards threw for nearly 3,000 yards and 15 TDs, earned MVP honors in the Music City Bowl, and adds a capable running game. However, ACC quarterback rankings don’t paint a glowing picture — he’s ranked 16th out of 17, just above one other QB,
