Since UNC starting QB Bryn Renner has been lost for the season after being injured against NC State, Marquis Williams has been elevated to starting quarterback. But who is the No. 2 quarterback now?

It’s Kanler Coker, a 6-foot-4, 217-pound freshman, who threw for 2,809 yards and 31 touchdowns as a senior in high school in Georgia. Coker committed to East Carolina before changing his mind after UNC coach Larry Fedora’s pitch.

Coker also played baseball and basketball in high school. He attended UNC’s basketball camp several years ago. His dad played linebacker for Georgia Southern.
