Another player has departed the UNC football program, but this situation is a bit different than some of the others.
William Boone, the Prairie View A&M transfer who started each of the first three games for North Carolina, has left the team. Inside Carolina reported the news, to which Boone's agency provided some clarity on the decision.
William will be pursuing a medical redshirt in hopes of having 2 years of eligibility remaining. He should be 100% for spring practice. https://t.co/Egc5FOizQc

Austin Pfenninger was the one who responded to the post, indicating that the reasoning behind the decision was due to Boone seeking a medical redshirt.
