Former University of North Carolina quarterback Gio Lopez provided a damming indictment of the Bill Belichick-led Tar Heels in a recent interview.
Lopez, who was UNC’s starter in 2025, has transferred to ACC rival Wake Forest for the upcoming season, and speaking with Sports Illustrated this week, he revealed an unflattering picture of the North Carolina football program under the former Patriots head coach.
“Back at the other school [North Carolina], it felt like there’s no air,” Lopez said. “Here, it’s fun again. They’re moving us in the right direction, energized, and guys are enjoying football. It’s like fresh air. I’d never had to respond to tough situations like that on that loud of a scale.”
