A quarterback competition was brewing in training camp for the North Carolina Tar Heels until suddenly it wasn’t. Nathan Elliott’s biggest competitor in Chazz Surratt will miss the first four games of the season due to a suspension the University announced on Monday.
The suspension comes just weeks after UNC announced it had self-reported secondary violations to the NCAA for players selling team-issued Air Jordan 3’s.
The news prompted head coach Larry Fedora to speak to the media regarding the team’s plans at signal caller.
With that statement, junior Nathan Elliott will retain the job he took over towards the end of last season.
