Posted Aug 13, 2019
North Carolina freshman quarterback Sam Howell admitted he struggled at first adjusting to the speed of play at the ACC level. Since spring practice, however, Howell says he’s fully adapted. "I think I’ve come along well. When I first got here in the spring, I’ll be honest with you, it was hard. It was a lot faster but over time I’ve gotten used to the speed." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
