They battled for UNC QB job in 2019, now Sam Howell, Cade Fortin and Jace Ruder are all starters

Posted Aug 31, 2021
Heading into the 2019 college football season, Sam Howell won a battle with Cade Fortin and Jace Ruder for North Carolina’s starting quarterback job. All three clearly had talent and that’s the reason all three are Week 1 starters this season. The least surprising of the three, though, is Howell as the Tar Heels’ starter Friday night at 6 o’clock at Virginia Tech. (Tar Heel Tribune)
