The North Carolina Tar Heels have had a quarterback competition during fall camp, and it now seems to be over.

Ahead of a Week 1 showdown vs. South Carolina, it appears new coach Mack Brown has decided on a winner of the three-way quarterback competition.

According to Brown, who spoke at a press conference on Sunday, the Tar Heels will go with true freshman Sam Howell as the starter:

Howell was competing with redshirt freshmen Cade Fortin and Jace Ruder, but the true freshman got the nod at the end of the day.

Howell was a 4-star prospect coming out of high school. He was the No. 3 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2019 and the No. 2 overall recruit from the state of North Carolina, per the 247Sports composite rankings.
