It’s finally game week as the North Carolina Tar Heels will kickoff their 2019 season in Charlotte vs. South Carolina in the Belk College Kickoff this Saturday afternoon.
When the Tar Heels do take the field for the first time on offense, they will do so being led out by freshman quarterback Sam Howell. The four-star quarterback has been taking reps with the first team for over a week now and on Monday, head coach Mack Brown officially named him the starter.
UNC released their Week 1 depth chart for Saturday’s game vs. South Carolina and right there at the top is the quarterback Howell.
