Sexton won't play for UNC in '09
North Carolina quarterback Cameron Sexton, who rose from third-string to lead the Tar Heels to five victories in 2008, plans to graduate in May and "explore his options for continuing his playing career next season,'' the school announced.
Under NCAA rules, the redshirt junior can't transfer to Division I-A or I-AA, but he could use his final year of eligibility at a Division II school.
“I don’t know what the future holds for me,” Sexton said in a prepared statement. “I’m considering all my options, including the possibility of transferring to a Division II institution to play one more year. I have always been a competitor and I have more goals I want to accomplish on the football field. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunities I had at North Carolina.”
Sexton, who grew up in Laurinburg, was a part-time starter as a redshirt freshman under then-coach John Bunting, then backed up T.J. Yates as a sophomore under coach Butch Davis, and was third-string behind Yates and Mike Paulus to begin the 2008 season.
But after Yates broke his ankle and Paulus was ineffective, he came off the sideline to lead UNC to a comeback victory at Maryland. In all, the Tar Heels — who finished 8-5 — went 5-2 with Sexton at the helm. But after he struggled at Maryland, a rehabilitated Yates returned to the starting lineup Nov. 22 against N.C. State.
In all, Sexton completed 94 of his 168 pass attempts with nine touchdowns and six interceptions in 2008, and leaves Carolina 152-for-305, with 13 touchdowns and 14 interceptions for his career.
His decision to graduate leaves Carolina with little game experience at back-up quarterback. Paulus has completed only 4 of 13 passes with two interceptions in his career.
“Cam was an inspiration to our football team for his perseverance and determination,” Davis said in a statement. “He gave everything he had to this program and Carolina fans will always remember the highlights he provided in 2008 as he helped this program to a bowl game. Cam has great character and has always represented the University in a first-class manner. I congratulate him on receiving his degree and I will do all I can to help him in the future.”

The Who Should BE QB?
Thu, 01/15/2009 - 00:34 — jeromfitzIts head or tails to most college coaches in America is should be QB. I think Sexton did a great job anyway of at least savior of a UNC bowl bound season. Yates came back but had a bad day also. It's head or tail of who play QB. Maybe Tar Heel coach BD should consider a two or three consecutive series play until a QB catches fire and go from there. Everyone coaches differently but can the QB lead they way with good execution of what is played out. Sexton opts out is a surprise but to go to a division II school is a bigger surprise. I like the way he connects to receivers sometimes. Still have to polish his game passing play. Not just throw it up for grabs. That was an exciting bowl game with West Virginia but leaving time on the clock for White was a huge factor. White has played like that all the time. It was a good game. Hate see UNC lose a home field advantage like game in Charlotte. Sexton will prevail any where he goes. He got a seven good games under is belt and winning record of 5-2. Who knows Sexton might be a reserved in the NFL one day.
Best of luck, Sexton...
Thu, 01/15/2009 - 13:50 — UNC1998He's graduating, and that's good. If he wants to head elsewhere to play that's good for him. I refuse to believe Yates is head and shoulders above Sexton. He'd have his chances. He's making a choice, I have neither joy or sadness over it. The UNC football train is still gathering steam, and players will want to come and be a part of it.
What do you mean "Why?"
Wed, 01/14/2009 - 13:29 — Goheels7Trying to "make room" for other commitments is ridiculous. First off, you must not know much about Butch Davis. Why in the world would he want to "make room" for someone that has absolutely no experience whatsoever? Second, if you read the quotes from Cam, Butch and Coach Shoop "tried to get me to stay." It's funny reading some of the comments allowed to be posted.
Not a Randy Shannon
Wed, 01/14/2009 - 13:05 — FloydTurboKudos to Butch Davis for not taking the Randy Shannon approach re: Cam Sexton.
Why?
Wed, 01/14/2009 - 13:04 — googleSexton was a great contributor this season when Yates was injured. Why in the world would he move to a Division II school when he could help out again next year? It sounds like BD is once again "making room" for other commitments. If I were Sexton, I'd be disappointed in this treatment.
