## Resource

The North Carolina Tar Heels are revving up for a breakout season, with Bill Belichick’s bold moves on offense and a defensive star in the making: Kaleb Cost. After a disappointing 4-win campaign, the team’s new OC and fresh roster aim to ignite the offense, while Cost—once a baseball player now fully committed to football—is poised to become the defensive leader. With over 100 tackles and key interceptions, Cost’s speed, smarts, and growing comfort in Belichick’s system make him the perfect candidate to anchor a revamped secondary. If he steps up as a lockdown corner, the Tar Heels’ defense could become a true ACC powerhouse, giving Belichick the playmaker he needs to turn things around.
