While the team knew yesterday, we all found out today: Mack Brown has named Drake Maye this weekend’s starter against Florida A&M to start the 2022 season.
The announcement follows a competition that started after the Duke’s Mayo Bowl when Sam Howell took his last snaps. It’s been an intense competition from Spring Ball to Summer Camp, with Brown deciding it’s in the best interests of everyone to go ahead and name a starter in preparation for this week’s game plan instead of going with the infamous “or” situation.
Maye is starting his second season as a Tar Heel, but is a redshirt freshman thanks to only appearing in four games last season.
