A day removed from North Carolina's second intrasquad scrimmage of training camp, Mack Brown announced Sunday that freshman quarterback Sam Howell will start taking snaps with the Blue Team, UNC's terminology for first team.
Speaking with reporters after the Tar Heels' 15th training camp practice, Brown said Phil Longo informed Howell, Cade Fortin and Jace Ruder of the decision on Sunday morning. Brown and his staff made the determination Saturday evening.
"The difference right now is Sam has just been more consistent than the other two," Brown said.
