Sam Howell named to 2021 preseason All-American second team by Sporting News.

Death, taxes, and UNC football star Sam Howell collecting preseason honors like Thanos’ jewels are all guarantees. Sporting News added to the honors by listing Howell as the second-best quarterback in the nation, trailing behind Oklahoma’s Spencer Rattler. There’s no denying how huge of an honor it is to be looked at as a top-two quarterback in all of college football.
