The North Carolina Tar Heels Football team has several position groups that will see fierce competition for starting positions in the fall. The most attention will be given to the quarterbacks, with Jacolby Criswell and Drake Maye likely battling until the day before the season opener versus Florida A&M.
But the biggest competition will be for snaps at running back. And the field is wide open.
Here is a rundown of the running backs group:
- British Brooks (Fifth-year senior)
- DJ Jones (Junior)
- Elijah Green (Sophomore)
- Caleb Hood (Sophomore)
- Kamarro Edmonds (Redshirt freshman)
- George Pettaway (Freshman)
- Omarion Hampton (Freshman - June enrollee)
In the spring game, every available running back made an appearance on the field.
