UConn defensive lineman Pryce Yates is transferring to North Carolina, joining coach Bill Belichick's team. Yates entered the transfer portal after a strong performance in the Fenway Bowl against North Carolina. Yates, a 6-foot-4, 265-pound redshirt junior, had 21 tackles and 3.5 sacks in the 2024 season. He is one of at least 13 transfers North Carolina has added since hiring Belichick. UConn coach Jim Mora expressed concerns about tampering with his players before Yates entered the portal. He criticized other teams for violating NCAA rules regarding player recruitment.
