North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye has earned another spot on a preseason watch list as we continue the countdown to the 2023 season.
On Tuesday, Maye was named to the 2023 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award preseason watch list. The award is handed out each season to the top senior or upperclassman quarterback set to graduate with their class.
Maye was one of 48 quarterbacks named to the watch list which was announced by the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation, Inc., along with presenting sponsor A. O. Smith Corporation.
This is just the latest watch list for Maye this offseason as he enters the year as one of the best returning players in all of college football.

In 2022, Maye racked up the honors after a big first year as the starter, capping it off by being named a Freshman All-American and the ACC Player of the Year.
The Tar Heels are hoping he can find repeat success in his second year as the starter in 2023.
