With the 2024 ACC Football Kickoff taking place in Charlotte and the start of the college football season fast approaching, there are still some things to sort out for the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The quarterback position is one of the biggest questions surrounding Mack Brown's team in 2024. With Drake Maye off to the NFL, the Tar Heels will be forced to battle with transfers Max Johnson, Connor Harrell and Jacolby Criswell this offseason.
While UNC has yet to reveal its plans, one college football writer has made a bold prediction for the Tar Heels, and that prediction includes a quarterback battle.
Brad Crawford of 247Sports wrote about 10 bold predictions for ACC football and said Jacolby Criswell will be UNC's top quarterback.
In late spring, Max Johnson, a transfer from Texas A&M, competed with Connor Harrell for the Tar Heels' starting spot. The team then added former Arkansas quarterback Jacolby Criswell to the team as their third option. He arrived at camp as a major threat to take the QB1 position. He originally signed with the Tar Heels and played a few seasons as a depth chart option before serving as KJ Jefferson's No. 2 in the SEC last fall. He's back, gaining experience and eager for his chance. This year is expected to be Mack Brown's final season in Chapel Hill as coach, so rotating multiple quarterbacks may not be as difficult. bold Of decision.
That's a bold statement, because many believe this quarterback battle has come down to just Harrell and Johnson.
Criswell returned to North Carolina after transferring and playing at Arkansas, and while he's a name no one is talking about in the quarterback battle, he could sneak in and win the position.
