Former UNC football offensive lineman finds a new home

After not seeing the field during his true freshman season with the UNC football program, offensive lineman D.J. Geth elected to enter the transfer portal.

The 6-foot-3, 305-pound lineman from Spartanburg, South Carolina has found a new home, as he has committed to Liberty University.

A former three-star prospect, Geth had North Carolina family connections, as his father Ed played basketball for the university while his mother and aunt also attended the school. That ultimately helped him choose North Carolina in his original recruitment, but his time in Chapel Hill didn't last too long.

While looking for an opportunity to earn playing time, Geth felt it was in his best interest to move on from the UNC football program. Now, he'll look to make an impact with his new school, as he'll have three seasons of eligibility to work with.

Offensive line depth is very important, as the UNC football program has a new-look unit heading into the new season. Losing Geth does hurt in terms of depth, but expect the UNC football program to monitor the transfer portal for potential additions that they could bring in over the next few months.
