Larry Fedora is thankful for…Mitch Trubisky, Elijah Hood and Austin Proehl

All three of these players are juniors. They have one more year of eligibility. Next season, they will be North Carolina’s “big three” on offense.

However, there’s a possibility that Trubisky and Hood will bolt for the NFL after this season. Both players are good enough and ready to make the leap to the pros.

There are pros and cons for both players staying in school another year and foregoing their last season. Make no mistake, money and possibility of injuries will be a large portion of the decision-making process for these two guys.

Rest assured, UNC head coach Larry Fedora does not take his time with these players for granted. Let’s hope that he has more time with them, though. UNC fans would love to see this trio play together one more year!
