Is North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky a Legitimate Heisman Contender?

All of a sudden, the ACC is chock full of excellent quarterbacks. You knew about Clemson’s Deshaun Watson, who almost led the Tigers to the national championship last season. Louisville’s Lamar Jackson is the current top contender for the Heisman Trophy and Miami’s Brad Kaaya is a popular name in NFL draft circles.

But the name you must get familiar with is Mitch Trubisky.

Who, you say?

Trubisky, a 6’3”, 220-pound redshirt junior, is quietly lighting things up for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Through five games, Trubisky has passed for 1,711 yards and 13 touchdowns.
