UNC quarterbacks Edwards and Burgess ranked in ESPN's Tier 12

The University of North Carolina's football team is preparing for the upcoming season, with a quarterback competition between Wisconsin transfer Billy Edwards and 4-star recruit Travis Burgess. As the Tar Heels gear up for their season opener against TCU on August 29 in Ireland, both quarterbacks find themselves in ESPN's Tier 12 ranking of FBS quarterback situations, which includes teams like Cincinnati and Tennessee. Edwards, who previously played at Maryland and Wisconsin, aims to reclaim the starting role after an injury last season. Burgess comes off a strong high school career, leading Grayson to the Georgia 6A State Championship in 2024. UNC's depth chart also includes returning players like Au'Tori Newkirk and new transfer Miles O'Neill from Texas A&M.
