American college football season
The 2024 Charlotte 49ers football team represent the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season . The 49ers play their home games at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina , and compete in their second season as a member of the American Athletic Conference (AAC). They are led by second-year head coach Biff Poggi .
On December 4, offensive line coach and assistant head coach Kyle DeVan accepted the offensive line coach job at his alma mater .[ 1] On December 7 the 49ers announced the hiring of Colorado tight ends coach Tim Brewster for the same position at Charlotte. He also takes on assistant head coaching duties from the departing DeVan. John Morookian made an internal move from tight ends to offensive line. Jason Barnes joined the coaching staff from the analyst pool to take over wide receivers.[ 2] On January 8, North Carolina defensive analyst Ty Greenwood was named cornerbacks coach.[ 3]
The following recruits and transfers have signed letters of intent or verbally committed to the Charlotte 49ers football program for the 2024 recruiting year.
