UNC football players take over the Dean Dome on Tuesday

The raucous crowds, big plays, tailgates, and stadium entrances all define one sport – college football.

The North Carolina Tar Heels begin their coming season on Thursday, Aug. 29 at Minnesota, a team they beat in their inaugural matchup – 31-13 – last year in Chapel Hill. There’s a lot of mystery surrounding UNC entering the fall, with plenty of starting spots open, but also plenty of excitement with players who could step into those starting roles.

The greatest debate on North Carolina’s roster is at the quarterback position, with the battle between returning sophomore Conner Harrell and Texas A&M transfer Max Johnson. Kaimon Rucker will step up to lead the defense, while J.J. Jones is the Tar Heels’ new top receiver.

Even with all the decisions still needing to be made, that didn’t stop players from having a little fun on Tuesday at the Dean Dome.

If head UNC men’s basketball coach Hubert Davis ever wants to recruit a couple football guys, he has several to pick from.

I saw a lot of perimeter makes, a couple layups and dunks at the end. The video ended with Harrell and Johnson bumping shoulders – even in the midst of a heated competition, they’re still teammates and good friends with one another.
