North Carolina WR Kobe Paysour plans to enter NCAA Transfer Portal

North Carolina wideout Kobe Paysour plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. He has one year of eligibility remaining.

Paysour caught 70 passes for 936 yards and seven touchdowns during his time with North Carolina. Paysour was a three-star recruit in the 2021 signing class.

Paysour dealt with a foot injury during the offseason prior to the 2024 campaign. Paysour appeared in 30 career games for the Tar Heels.

Playing prep football at Gaffney (S.C.) High School, Paysour was a three-star prospect and No. 496 overall prospect in the 2021 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking.

North Carolina just brought in a legend as the new head coach

With Bill Belichick being one of the most notable coaching candidates available throughout football of the last year, it’s natural to think the newest stop in his career could be a short one in order to eventually return to the pros. However, that’s not his plan in his words.

Belichick addressed the thought that he’d leave North Carolina for the NFL if possible during his introductory press conference in Chapel Hill on Thursday. He quieted that quickly with a short response on that.

“Yeah, I didn’t come here to leave,” Belichick stated.

Again, it’s a legitimate thought considering all things with Belichick. He has never before been a college coach of any kind while he spent nearly a half century coaching in the National Football League. Even after the end of his 24-year tenure with the New England Patriots, Belichick has remained a possible candidate for jobs in the league for the last year. That’s what comes with being still interested in coaching as someone with a resumé that has 467 wins and six wins in the Super Bowl while in the NFL.

Even so, Chapel Hill is where Belichick will be coaching for the foreseeable future with him signed on a five-year deal as the next head coach of North Carolina.
