North Carolina Football: Tar Heels' 2022 Spring Preview

Posted Mar 1, 2022
UNC suits up for spring football practice on Tuesday and here are five intriguing aspects to watch. 1. Quarterback: Junior Jacolby Criswell, a 4-star recruit in 2020, is back and he saw more playing time in 2021 than highly touted freshman Drake Maye. Early entry Conner Harrell is also around, but a Maye-Criswell battle should be the top focus this spring. (Athlon Sports)
