University of North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell has been one of the most impressive players in college football this season; never mind the fact that he’s a true freshman. He put up numbers for the Tar Heels this season that not only topped the Atlantic Coast Conference, but also rivaled some of the biggest names in college football.
The 6-foot-1, 225-pound Monroe, North Carolina native was named ACC Rookie of the Year and ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year in a landslide vote after a season in which he compiled 3,347 yards and 35 touchdowns throughout the regular season.
