UNC backup redshirt freshman QB Marquise Williams is no longer enrolled at the school.

Behind junior Bryn Renner, Williams compiled 186 rushing yards and 127 yards through the air for four total scores while seeing action in nine games. Many thought he may have a chance to take over after Renner's exit following the 2013 season, especially in Larry Fedora's fast paced spread offense.

Quarterback Marquise Williams is finding new coach Larry Fedora’s spread offense much to his liking.

Bryn Renner threw for 3,086 yards and 26 touchdowns while ranking 10th nationally in pass efficiency. That was last season and Fedora has let it be known that competition is open at every position. Williams, working mostly with the second team, has impressed with his handling of the spread offense this spring. While Renner had much success last season as a sophomore, new coaches and new schemes often result in starting over. That could ultimately improve advantageous for Williams, who was a redshirt freshman in 2011.
