2022 UNC Football Preview: Quarterback position

We take a look at the 2022 quarterback position preview as the battle between Drake Maye and Jacolby Criswell continues on.

Arguably the biggest storyline for the UNC football program going into this season is at the quarterback position. With Sam Howell off the NFL, UNC has it’s first true quarterback competition since the 2019 offseason.

Redshirt freshman [autotag]Drake Maye[/autotag] and sophomore [autotag]Jacolby Criswell[/autotag] have been battling it out all offseason to win the starting job. And so far, no true leader has emerged which could be a good or bad thing.

Head coach Mack Brown and his staff aren’t holding back in this contest and are throwing everything at the two. As training camp continues on, it doesn’t appear we are any closer to naming a winner and UNC could wait until the week of their opening game to decide who gets the nod.

As the regular season approaches, we decided to kickoff our position preview with the quarterback position and look at not only Maye and Criswell but the depth behind them.
