North Carolina’s in the running for one SEC graduate transfer after already reeling in another from the same conference. In the meantime, the ACC school has landed a similar transfer from that same league.
Cameron Dillard confirmed to 247Sports.com‘s Ryan Bartow that he has decided to transfer to North Carolina. The offensive lineman, who had narrowed his choices down to UNC and Arizona, made the move to transfer from Florida earlier this offseason.
As a graduate transfer, Dillard, who is married, will be eligible to play immediately in 2017 for the Tar Heels.
“I thought about things and it worked out,” Dillard said about his decision. “UNC has a really good plan for me. They’ve sent four offensive linemen to the NFL in the last four years. Everything worked out.”
During his time in Gainesville, Dillard had started 20 games.
In late January, running back Stanton Truitt confirmed his move from Auburn to UNC. Former LSU quarterback Brandon Harris will visit the Tar Heels later this month.
