Durable, veteran interior anchor for UNC
Corey Gaynor is a proven **ACC-caliber interior lineman** whose value comes from durability, leadership, and pass protection more than flash: he started 26 games at North Carolina, was an Honorable Mention All-ACC selection in 2022 and 2023, and has been described by UNC as strong in *elite pass protection* and line-calling reliability.[1][6][9] He’s a good fit for a team that wants a steady center/guard presence who can handle heavy snaps, stabilize the front, and bring a captain’s mentality—though his injury history in 2021 is worth noting.[13]
