Drake Maye recalls decommitting from Alabama, telling Nick Saban: 'Dreaded it for a while'

Posted Apr 25, 2024
Drake Maye is expected to be a top-three NFL Draft pick on Thursday night, and after Roger Goodell says his name, “Quarterback, North Carolina” will be his next three words. But once upon a time, Maye was an Alabama pledge and committed to play for Nick Saban. One decommitment later though and Maye stuck to his family’s preferred Carolina Blue. (On3.com)
