Inside the depth chartPROJECTED · First string by unit

Status: PROJECTED. Bill Belichick does not release an official depth chart. Chart below synthesizes SI Inside Carolina (Aug 22, 2026) as primary; Heel Tough / Ourlads noted where they disagree. UNC already opened vs TCU (Aug 29, W 15-10); this remains a pre/early-season projection, not an official program board.
