Basketball legend Michael Jordan, former U.S. women’s soccer star Mia Hamm, Pro Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor, former NFL star Julius Peppers, country singers Eric Church and Chase Rice, and Los Angeles Dodgers ace Blake Snell are all expected to attend, according to ESPN.

Jordan, Hamm, Taylor, Peppers and Rice all attended UNC. Church went to Appalachian State, and Snell was committed to play at Washington before being drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays.

Belichick was hired by UNC in December 2024 after taking a year off from coaching, following his mutual departure from the New England Patriots in January 2024. Widely considered one of the greatest coaches of all time, Belichick won six Super Bowls in 24 seasons with the Patriots.

UNC went 6-7 last season, and head coach Mack Brown retired afterward, opening the door for Belichick’s highly anticipated return to coaching.
