Former UNC redshirt sophomore OL Avery Jones transferred to East Carolina.
Jones is a former four-star recruit who pledged to the Tar Heels before Mack Brown became the coach. He didn’t get a chance to play much, but he should get that chance with the Pirates. The question is when, as if Jones doesn’t get a waiver, the 6-foot-4, 305-pound offensive lineman will need a waiver to play immediately. If he sits out the season, he’ll have two years of eligibility starting in 2021 for ECU.
