All eyes will be on Bill Belichick and the UNC football program at this year's ACC Kickoff Event in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Ahead of Belichick's first season at the helm, he, along with some of his current players, will have time to speak to the media at this year's event, which is scheduled for July 22-24 at the Hilton Charlotte Uptown.

On Thursday, the list of attendees was released, as we now know which student-athletes will be representing the UNC football program.

Belichick will be bringing a mix of newcomers and returners to Charlotte for the event. Newcomers Thaddeus Dixon and Gio Lopez will be available to speak to the media, while returners Jordan Shipp and Will Hardy will also be in attendance.

This is a really solid mix of players for the UNC football program, as there will be plenty to talk about with regard to the state of the program. The Tar Heels have a brewing quarterback competition (which will be a major topic of discussion), as Lopez is the presumed favorite to win the job come opening day.

Dixon will provide some insights on his early tenure with the UNC football program, while Hardy and Shipp will likely be asked plenty of questions surrounding the differences and similarities between the Mack Brown era as well as the early portion of the Belichick era.

The UNC football program will be one of the more sought-out teams at this year's event, as there will be plenty of eyes on Belichick and the Tar Heels throughout the first season of this exciting new era of Carolina Football.
