Miles O'Neill - Loses QB battle to Edwards O'Neill lost North Carolina's quarterback competition to Wisconsin transfer Billy Edwards, per On3.

Impact This is somewhat of a surprise, as O'Neill was reportedly in the lead for the QB1 gig as recently as early August. Still, Edwards has won out and will be the Tar Heels' starting quarterback for Week 0 in Dublin against TCU. O'Neill, meanwhile, looks poised to spend another season riding the bench after he did just that for two years at Texas A&M.

Billy Edwards Jr. - Wins quarterback battle Edwards has won North Carolina's quarterback battle, beating out Miles O'Neill, per On3.

Impact Edwards was reportedly working as the QB2 in the Tar Heels' fall camp, and it was reported recently that Texas A&M transfer Miles O'Neill had the upper hand in the quarterback battle. Thus, it's safe to say this wasn't the expected outcome in Chapel Hill. Edwards was injured for the duration of the 2025 season in Madison, but in 2024 as a full-time starter with Maryland he tossed for 2,881 yards, 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions on 65 percent completion while adding 150 yards and five scores on the ground.
