UNC is getting a graduate transfer running back

After UNC’s loss to Texas A&M in the Orange Bowl, most fans had the same thought, more or less: The situation at running back next year is definitely not going to be what we’ve quickly gotten used to under Mack Brown, with Michael Carter and Javonte Williams both headed to the NFL Draft and their presumptive replacements being decent, but definitely underwhelming, in relief duty. Some wondered if the incoming freshmen, Kamarro Edmonds (excellent running back name) and Caleb Hood (who’s reportedly run a 4.5 forty-yard dash at something like 230 pounds) would earn primary running back duties early, while others worried that the group was going to lack big-time experience and lead to a let-down in what’s expected to be a season where the Heels challenge for an ACC Championship.
