When they go back to the transfer portal, UNC Football expects to lose another game…
Mack Brown and the UNC football team are going to lose another running back this offseason through the transfer portalw. George Pettaay is planning to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, which is a sure thing now that it looks official. Grant Grubbs of On3 broke the story first; Pettaway would be the second running back from the UNC football program to register for the portal. Since moving to Chapel Hill before the 2022 season began, George Pettaway hasn’t been able to establish himself as a reliable offensive lineman.
Pettaway played in 11 games during his first season, logging 20 carries for 93 yards and two touchdowns. Pettaway has seen even less playing time this year, as he has just one reception on the season, thanks to the return of veteran British wide receiver Brooks and the rise of classmate Omarion Hampton.
The UNC football team used Pettaway to log reps at wide receiver throughout training camp. That did not, however, translate into playing time, as Pettaway decided to remain eligible and reassess his options at the end of the 2023 season by choosing to redshirt.
The UNC football program has had a busy week as several Tar Heels have declared their decision to depart the program. Click the link below to get the most recent updates on the UNC football program’s roster and stay up to speed on all the news.
