Two Tar Heels No Longer With Team Following Spring Practice
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Two North Carolina players left the program following the conclusion of spring practice, a team spokesman confirmed Tuesday.
Wide receiver Shenard Clower and defensive back Ty Adams are no longer listed on the team’s 2026 roster.
Clower, a former three-star recruit out of Lakeland (Fla.), was set to enter his sophomore season following a true freshman campaign that saw him appear in nine games, while starting in three. On the season, Clower tallied 12 catches for 98 yards and 192 all-purpose yards. In the Sept. 20 loss at UCF, the Florida native tallied a season high 34 yards on four catches.
