Ahead of his first season with the UNC football program, transfer quarterback Gio Lopez is simply ready to compete.

Serving as the projected starting quarterback heading into training camp, Lopez was in attendance as one of North Carolina's representatives for the ACC Kickoff event. The left-handed slinging quarterback was asked about a variety of questions, most notably his decision to transfer to North Carolina from South Alabama and the role new head coach Bill Belichick played in his decision.
