Brandon Harris, the former LSU quarterback who is among the top graduate transfer prospects available at his position, announced on Sunday that he is transferring to North Carolina.
Harris' arrival will help fill the void left behind by Mitch Trubisky, who left after his junior season to enter the NFL draft. Trubisky's departure created uncertainty at quarterback at UNC, where no other player on the roster had significant college experience.
That was among UNC's primary selling points to Harris, a former four-star prospect out of Parkway High in Bossier City, La. Another part of UNC's pitch: The opportunity to lead an up-tempo, prolific offense that has experienced significant success during coach Larry Fedora's five-year tenure.
