UNC Tar Heels coach Mack Brown is expecting huge things out of sophomore quarterback Sam Howell.
Brown spoke with the Fox Sports’ college football crew about the young gunslinger, and it sounds like he thinks Howell is going to ball out. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

I hate to brag, but I was telling everyone who would listen back in August 2019 that Howell was going to be incredibly special for the Tar Heels.
While UNC wasn’t amazing as a squad last year, there was no question about whether or not Howell was an elite talent as a freshman.
He 100% was, and proved it week in and week out.
Just how confident was I in Howell’s abilities as a freshman? I dropped several hundred dollars on the UNC moneyline against South Carolina to open the season, and it worked like a charm.
While most people who are late to the party like to pretend they were there the whole time, I actually put my money where my mouth is.

Now it’s time for Howell to take things to the next level, and I have no doubt he will. The young man has everything you want in a star quarterback, and I absolutely believe he’s going to dominate the ACC.
Things are certainly trending up for the Tar Heels.
