UNC Quarterback Sam Howell Second in 2021 Heisman Odds

Posted Jan 5, 2021
UNC has never fielded a Heisman Trophy winner in the award's 85-year history. However, that could all change in 2021. UNC quarterback Sam Howell has the second-best odds to win the Heisman next season. Howell finished the 2020 season with 3,586 passing yards (No. 4 in the nation), 30 passing touchdowns (No. 6), and seven interceptions. (Inside Carolina)
