Who’s QB1? Jacolby Criswell, Drake Maye among nation's top QB battles as preseason camps begin

Posted Jul 28, 2022
After three seasons of Sam Howell, the Tar Heels are looking for a new quarterback. Jacolby Criswell and Drake Maye threw a combined 31 passes last season. Maye, a former national top-50 recruit in UNC's 2021 signing class, appears to have the bigger upside. Criswell is in his third season on campus and while he is just 6-0, he has a big-time arm.
