Sam Howell has been fantastic as a freshman this season. He’s thrown for 26 touchdowns, 5 interceptions and 2,472 yards so far. Howell has already set a new UNC freshman record for touchdown passes and is 14 away from tying Jameis Winston’s record for ACC freshman. But with those numbers, Howell is also in some elite company.
