UNC football has seen a fair bit of attrition prior to the Duke’s Mayo Bowl against West Virginia. The offense will certainly suffer without Drake Maye and Tez Walker, and the defense will surely miss Cedric Gray and perhaps Tayon Holloway. But the beat will go on, just with backups stepping up into the starting lineup.
Except for tight end.
Carolina went from the enviable position of having three starting caliber tight ends on the roster to zero. Kamari Morales entered the transfer portal after the regular season and has already committed to Boston College.
