North Carolina's running back room has Tar Heels veterans - Benjamin Hall is in his second year after transferring in from Michigan - and a potential big timer in Kaleb Jackson from LSU, but will need to step up as a group in 2026 for UNC's offense to produce as expected under new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino.

Bill Belichick's hiring of Petrino has many followers and supporters excited about the potential with the running backs and Inside Carolina's football analyst Jason Staples breaks down the superlatives of the room among Hall, Jackson, Jaylen McGill, Demon June and Charleston French with host Tommy Ashley.
