Over the next several weeks, the Tar Heels will hold their yearly spring practices, which will result in the absence of a few famous UNC football standouts.
One of the major developments that Brown spoke about how the UNC football program will be missing some key contributors for spring practices. Here’s the players who will not participate:
Gavin Blackwell
JJ Jones
John Copenhaver
Bryson Nesbit
Timmy Lawson
Jordan Louie
Julian Randolph
Of the seven players listed, six are offensive skill players, which isn’t very good news for the UNC football program.
Why? In case you haven’t been paying attention, Chapel Hill is currently hosting a quarterback competition. It would be beneficial for the main skill players to gain some experience working with both of the individuals vying for the position.
Once again, Blackwell and Jones were expected to be important wide receivers, and the UNC football program’s offence greatly benefits from the explosive duo of Copenhaver and Nesbit at tight end. They will be unable to participate in spring practices as they all seem to be suffering with injuries, but maybe they will be healthy enough to report to training camp.
Good news for fans: it looks like Kobe Paysour, a wide receiver, will be fully fit for spring training. Paysour’s injury woes began early in the 2023 season when he sustained a foot ailment that kept him out of action and then another shortly before the Tar Heels’ bowl game.
With the Tar Heels devoid of depth at wide receiver and tight end, spring practices are an excellent opportunity for coaches to assess their current squad. The good news is that North Carolina is aware of those players’ potential; all that needs to happen is to prepare them for opening weekend football.
