UNC Quarterback Battle Among Tops In College Football

Posted Aug 9, 2024

That led Mack Brown to pull in transfers Jacolby Criswell and Max Johnson. Projected winner: Johnson. He protects the football and has shown he can run an offense even if Harrell and Criswell bring more as runners. (USA Today)
