Drake Maye listed as 247Sports' college football MVP entering 2023 season

Posted Aug 17, 2023
Figuratively and literally, Drake Maye is college football's most valuable player entering the 2023 season. Maye turned down "a whole lot of money to stay" at UNC according to Mack Brown, whose quarterback would've been a record-setter in NIL this offseason had he entered the transfer portal. Maye must be elite for the Tar Heels to be a top 25 team in 2023. (247 Sports)
