Chandler also added 15 catches for 216 yards and one touchdown through the air.
Prior to transferring to North Carolina, Chandler played four seasons for the Tennessee Volunteers, where he shared touches rather than being the sole starting RB. He totaled 2,046 yards and 26 touchdowns on 421 carries for the Volunteers.
Roberts spoke to the nature of Chandler’s transfer and how a change in schools reflects on college athletes now than in years past.
“It used to be when kids transferred, the first question that was asked was, ‘Well, what’s wrong with him?’ Now there’s so many kids who transfer, it’s not that anymore. It’s, ‘OK, how did this kid help himself?’ ” Roberts said. “One of the things that was great was, when I went in there – I’ve known some people at North Carolina for a long time – when I went in there, they said that this kid, he made the transition easier than any transfer they’ve ever had there.
“He came in, he was a leader, he’s smart, he learned the system,” Roberts continued. “So I think he showed through the process that he had made growth through that year. He’s a very mature kid, and we’re very excited to get him.”
