As college football's 2025 transfer portal cycle works through January, the winter window is in the books with North Carolina front and center among 247Sports' five burning questions. The Tar Heels entered Tuesday at No.

Oregon Ducks offensive analyst Matt Lombardi is expected to become an assistant coach on Bill Belichick's staff with the North Carolina Tar Heels. Lombardi spent just one year with the Ducks.
