Josh Downs catching intense competition to replace Sam Howell at QB
Posted Apr 9, 2022
Drake Maye figures to be the favorite to start at quarterback for the Tar Heels in August, but whoever gets the call has the real luxury of throwing to junior wide receiver Josh Downs. Downs showed that big-play prowess again in UNC's spring game on Saturday with first-half touchdown receptions of 12 yards from Jacolby Criswell and 38 yards from Maye.
