Sam Howell Focused on Tar Heels' Bowl Game

Posted Dec 8, 2021
Instead of opting out of the Tar Heels' upcoming bowl game, North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell opted in on Monday. Few would have had issues if Howell decided not to play in the Duke's Mayo Bowl on Dec. 30 in Charlotte, N.C. Howell has given everything he has to the UNC football program and has nothing more to prove to fans or NFL scouts. (Inside Carolina)
