UNC Quarterback Battle Among Tops In College Football

Posted Aug 9, 2024
UNC quarterback Conner Harrell replaced Drake Maye for last year's bowl game, showing off both a big arm and the need for more seasoning. 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)
