With Maye not playing, UNC turns to redshirt freshman Conner Harrell, a 6-foot, 205-pounder whose speed is off the charts, but who also has very limited experience. He has played just 21 snaps this season and hasn’t looked sharp throwing the ball.
He was valedictorian in high school and member of the National Honor Society, he also has a high football IQ. Harrell won consecutive state titles in the highest class in Alabama, so the belief is he will be very good at some point.
However, he hasn’t been all that consistent in practice since arriving, which has hampered his development. Now, as the guy for a couple of weeks, it will be interesting to hear about his level of consistency in practice.
UNC will have two other scholarship QBs available. Jefferson Boaz, who has barely played and entered the portal, and true freshman Tad Hudson, who has not taken a snap. So, this is clearly a position of concern for the Tar Heels.
