As the North Carolina football program gets closer to playing against West Virginia in the Dukes Mayo Bowl game, their roster continues to get thinner.
According to Inside Carolina, UNC defensive back [autotag]D.J Jones[/autotag] will enter the transfer portal to look for a new playing home for the 2024-2025 season. Jones underwent a position change this offseason for more playing time.
Jones continues the trend of players leaving UNC. However, much like many others who’ve entered the portal, it was predicted. The transfer portal and NIL have created a new free agency-style system for college football, and UNC won’t be the only program taking a hit because of it.
In three seasons as UNC running back, Jones finished with 442 rushing yards and three touchdowns. This past season as a defensive back, Jones finished with 15 total tackles.
