Where Bill Belichick Ranks Among Top College Football Classes for First-Year Coaches

Posted Feb 7, 2025
UNC Football coach Bill Belichick signed a middle-of-the-road class ahead of his first season in Chapel Hill, but he did bring in a blue-chip quarterback in Bryce Baker. Belichick’s other heralded signees are 3-star edge-rushers Austin Alexander (Kentucky) and Chinedu Onyeagoro (California). UNC’s incoming transfer class also ranks among the ACC's best.
