Lengthy, developmental edge with starter upside
Joseph Mupoyi is a 6-foot-5, 261-pound defensive lineman who transferred from Penn State to North Carolina in spring 2025 and arrived with four-star recruiting pedigree and three years of eligibility remaining. He’s still more projection than production — he played in only two games in 2024 and logged one tackle — but the appeal is obvious: big frame, disruptive length, and room to grow into a true edge presence. For UNC, he’s a classic upside swing: if you want juice, traits, and patience, he fits the vibe.
