Find out which UNC football players earned helmet sticker honors for the Tar Heels’ final regular season game against NC State.

There are simply no words to describe the brutal collapse that we witnessed from the UNC football program on Friday night.

Up by nine points late in the game, the Tar Heels allowed NC State to score two touchdowns in just 26 seconds to take the lead for good. In what looked to be the Tar Heels playing “spoilers” on their biggest football rival ended up being an absolutely awful finish to their final game of the 2021 regular season.

Without a doubt, this game will bring back bad memories for North Carolina fans for a very long time, especially if this ends up being the final time we see Sam Howell in a Tar Heel uniform. However, although the night did not go as planned, we still have our final set of helmet stickers to give out as we conclude the team’s regular season slate.

Let’s begin with the best story coming from Chapel Hill, the former walk-on who has been a major asset for the Tar Heels’ offense over the last couple of weeks.
