massive transfer tackle who earned an early UNC starting role
In the 2025 season, Boone arrived at North Carolina as a 6-foot-6, 340-pound transfer from Prairie View A&M and quickly won a starting job, playing the Tar Heels’ first three games before a lower-body injury sidelined him and later ended his UNC stint. His calling card is obvious: size, experience, and tackle reps — he started 11 games at right tackle at Prairie View A&M and reportedly allowed no sacks there in 2024. The differentiator is his plug-and-play frame and power, but the risk is the recent injury and roster volatility. If healthy, he profiles as a rugged, ready-made edge protector.
