Why Jacolby Criswell came back to UNC to compete for quarterback job

Posted Jul 16, 2024
A smile spread across Jacolby Criswell’s face Monday at UNC’s Kenan Football Center. As he addressed the media, the smile displayed his comfort. "A lot of familiar faces," he joked. But, in a serious sense, familiarity is what drew him back to Chapel Hill. Criswell lost the starting job to Drake Maye in 2022 and transferred to Arkansas for the 2023 season. (AOL.com)
