The 2023 college football season is in the books for North Carolina’s teams. On Dec. 29, we released our Most Outstanding Offensive Players for the season – Davius Richard (NC Central), Omarion Hampton (UNC), Jordan Terrell (Barton) and Ethan Beamish (Brevard). Here is the rest of our honor roll of outstanding offensive players.
This is a long list, which is a credit to the amount of offensive talent found in the Old North State.
Offensive line may have been our strongest position group. A number of all-conference first-teamers and those with All-America credentials headline our honor roll. Our state also featured a bevy of solid quarterbacks, running backs and receivers.
We used All-America, All-Region and All-Conference teams to choose our honor roll, as well as season stats and other factors. Players are listed by main position group, then sorted alphabetically (first name) within their division.
