Dazz Newsome

Newsome and teammate Dyami Brown appear to be perfect complements to each other, with Brown offering a bit more field stretching while Newsome sees heavier target share on most stable routes. That led both to 1,000 yard, 10+ touchdown seasons in 2019, with Newsome catching 21 more passes on 12 additonal targets. Newsome and the Heels offense really got going over the second half of 2019, once freshman quarterback Sam Howell, fully settled in. Newsome went for seven scores and 43 catches over his final seven games, a trend that seems likely to carry into 2020. With Howell, Brown and the Heels other top five receivers and top two rushers all back, North Carolina has the makings of a consistent, dynamic, and diverse offense. Newsome will be front and center in the passing attack, and repeating last year's tallies could be his floor.
