Quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer, the presumed starter with solid stats last year, faces stiff competition from UNC transfer Bryce Baker, who’s got a personal connection to the QB coach. At tight end, veteran Benji Gosnell, entering his final season, must improve his blocking to hold his starting spot amid the arrival of top recruit Luke Reynolds. Wide receiver Ayden Greene, a fan favorite, needs to keep delivering highlight catches as four new transfer receivers threaten his starting role. And on defense, Kemari Copeland, a rising star who earned All-ACC honors, has a chance to cement his pro future — this season is his breakout moment.
