Sam Howell, Drake Maye, and the QB Position at UNC

It’s no secret that UNC has been spoiled at the quarterback position since Sam Howell stepped on campus in 2019. Upon his arrival, Howell took the college football world by storm, shattering the program record for passing TDs and passing yards in just three seasons. After Howell entered the 2022 NFL Draft, Drake Maye took over for the Tar Heels. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
