Since Mitch Trubisky declared for the 2017 NFL Draft, the Tar Heels have clearly been in the market for a new quarterback. They have several in-house options, though none of them have been significantly tested in the field yet.

We have already reported that Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire is eyeing a transfer for the 2017 season. He has previously visited Chapel Hill and is said to consider them among his finalists, but apparently UNC has taken interest in a different transfer student in LSU’s Brandon Harris, and it turns out that interest in mutual.
