Posted Jul 12, 2023
Huntersville, North Carolina native Drake Maye is entering his redshirt sophomore season with the Tar Heels, and this is expected to be his final year in Chapel Hill. Most expect USC's Caleb Williams to be the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but Maye has the size and arm strength to surpass him. Phil Steele ranks him No. 1 entering the season. (On3.com)
