Gio Lopez is moving from one Atlantic Coast Conference school in North Carolina to another. The quarterback who worked as the starter for Bill Belichick's first college team at UNC has signed with Wake Forest ahead of Jake Dickert's second season there. The Demon Deacons announced Lopez's signing in a social-media post, meaning Lopez will go from South Alabama in 2024 to Chapel Hill in 2025, then move roughly 80 miles west to Winston-Salem.
