Drake Maye would consider returning for senior season, says he never was going to transfer

Posted Jul 27, 2023

Not so fast, says the Heisman Trophy candidate and likely high pick in the 2024 NFL draft. He says he’d consider returning for his senior season, particularly if UNC falls short of its goals.
