Paul Tine named new NCDMV commissioner, will replace Wayne Goodwin
The North Carolina Department of Transportation on Wednesday named Paul Tine as the new commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). His first day will be May 6.
Tine replaces Wayne Goodwin, who has led the DMV since 2022.
Tine is the long-time owner of Midgett Insurance Agency and a former member of the General Assembly. He formerly served two terms in the state House of Representatives, representing Dare, Hyde, Washington and Beaufort counties.
“He is the right person for this job, and I have charged him with urgently
identifying ways to make the DMV work better for North Carolinians,” Gov. Josh Stein said.
North Carolina Department of Transportation Secretary Joey Hopkins previously said the state had 40 applicants to replace Goodwin.
WRAL’s 5 On Your Side has tracked long DMV lines for years, but frustrations grew recently when Goodwin faced criticism from lawmakers over delays.
In March, 5 On Your Side reported viewer complaints about long DMV delays were at an all-time high. Whether booking an appointment or walking into one of North Carolina’s 115 offices, neither option seems to work. Some walk-ins reported waiting all day, only to be turned away when the line filled up.
The state has said outdated technology and a lack of DMV staff have contributed to the delays. To improve the DMV’s technology, North Carolina is looking at Arizona’s DMV, which has streamlined its software.
According to the NCDOT, the state budget also calls for funding for 61 new driver license examiners and 24 new positions to staff driver license offices.
In Wednesday’s announcement, Tine said he will work to address wait times, staffing challenges and customer
satisfaction.
Tine said, “There is no shortage of challenges facing our division, and it is
critical that we get to work quickly to reduce wait times, make our website
more user friendly, and empower our frontline staff to ensure the highest level
of service to our citizens.”

The North Carolina Tar Heels will be a young program across the board next season, with well over two dozen freshmen and numerous additions from the transfer portal this offseason. Expectations for the 2026 season are lowered dramatically after a disastrous first season for head coach Bill Belichick, though those expectations could help the Tar Heels fly under the radar.
As the Tar Heels approach the end of spring ball, it is time to look at the veterans of the team—the ones who have the experience to lead, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Let’s look at three underrated seniors for the 2026 football season.
Ade Willie, Cornerback
Willie joins the Tar Heels program after four years with Michigan State, as the former 4-star player in the 2022 recruiting class gets an opportunity to not only provide depth to the secondary, but potentially start Week 0 against TCU.
Willie played in over 30 games with the Spartans and brings experience in the secondary at cornerback and safety, along with quality length and closing speed to the football. For a defense that needs players to step up, the redshirt senior from IMG Academy will be asked to do so.
Isaiah Johnson, Defensive Lineman
The defensive line is beginning to look like one of the Tar Heels’ strengths for the 2026 season. Johnson, a former transfer from Arizona, enters his redshirt senior year looking to add another year of production after 40 tackles and two sacks this past season.
North Carolina has an impressive group of starters with Malkart Abou-Jaoude, Leroy Jackson, and incoming transfer Jaylen Harvey. Johnson adds value to the group as a run defender with the ability to penetrate the pocket. While not discussed as a key player, Johnson’s name will be used plenty during the regular season as a potential standout for the program’s defensive front.
Coleman Bryson, Safety
Bryson was a reserve player for the Tar Heels’ secondary last season as a big nickel defender in the rotation. Heading into his redshirt senior year, the former Minnesota Gopher is looking to become a full-time starter in the secondary.
It wasn’t long ago when Bryson was making plays as the 2022 Pinstripe Bowl Defensive MVP. His special teams abilities were valuable for North Carolina last season, and he flashed at times in coverage against tight ends, including a pass breakup in the season-opener against TCU. The Waynesville, North Carolina, native could be a key defender on the back-seven in 2026.
