North Carolina’s long-awaited roster release for the 2020 football season has finally arrived, and it includes some jersey number changes for a few Tar Heels, weight changes and much more.

UNC released the roster last year on July 17, the day of the ACC Kickoff, but since the event was cancelled this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the program waited a bit longer to post the updated roster.

Here is the complete roster.

Below is a breakdown of everything you need to know about the new roster.
