It is no secret that the North Carolina Tar Heels are in a heated battle for the starting quarterback role heading into 2024. Conner Harrell is the only QB from the 2023 roster while Mack Brown also brought in Jacolby Criswell and Max Johnson as graduate transfers as well.
So far this offseason, we have seen reports on just about each of them looking better than the other at some point in time. However, Mack Brown has still yet to decide who will start under center heading into their Week 1 game against Minnesota in just under three weeks.
Something unheard of yet is the idea the Brown could start two quarterbacks in a rotation or at the same time this year.
According to an interview that Brown did he is doubling down on the fact that Harrell and Johnson are “competing at the highest level.”
When asked about starting two quarterbacks, Brown didn’t have an immediate answer, but he did express that it’s not likely.
We have in the past. We will not if somebody separates, but if we’re not really sure which will be the best, we’ll play both. I don’t know what that means yet. You don’t get to that point until you get about 10 days out.
The idea is not unheard of and has been successful for the right programs, but let’s just hope that one of these two quarterbacks passes the other.
