Mack Brown Q&A: Minnesota Game Week Press Conference for UNC Here’s what the head coach said on Friday, with the Tar Heels' season opener less than a week away.

AUGUST 23 • 247SPORTS.COM

Jacolby Criswell - Seems out of running to be QB1 Criswell is not expected to share snaps during the Tar Heels' game Thursday at Minnesota, Inside Carolina reports.

Impact Currently, Max Johnson and Conner Harrell appear to be the Tar Heels' primary quarterbacks. The announcement significantly lowers Criswell's statistical upside.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Conner Harrell - Could share snaps Thursday Harrell and Max Johnson could share quarterback snaps during the Tar Heels' game Thursday at Minnesota, Inside Carolina reports.

Impact Harrell, Johnson and Jacolby Criswell have been competing to be the Tar Heels' starting quarterback. Some good news for Harrell and Johnson is Criswell seems out of the running. However, their head coach Mack Brown has yet to name a clear-cut QB1 between Harrell and Johnson. Because the Tar Heels' football program will not publish a depth chart before playing at Minnesota, another report ideally confirms who starts there Thursday.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Max Johnson - Set to split reps at QB Johnson will split reps with Conner Harrell as North Carolina's starting quarterback in Week 1 against Minnesota and potentially throughout the season, per Inside Carolina.

Impact Johnson, the Texas A&M transfer, has had a good offseason in Chapel Hill and figured to have an inside track to start this fall. Still, this quarterback battle clearly isn't quite resolved as both Johnson and Harrell will play against Minnesota to open the season. Head coach Mack Brown also added that "We'd like to do it for the season," meaning there may not be a true starting quarterback for the Tar Heels this fall, at least initially. Last season with the Aggies, Johnson tossed for 1,452 yards, nine touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 62 percent of his passes.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Louie - Participates in training camp Louie (undisclosed) participated in North Carolina's training camp, Jeremiah Holloway of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Now that Louie is healthy, he will aim to get his collegiate career going with North Carolina's football program. At minimum, the 5-foot-10, 215-pound running back will look to get more than one carry during 2024.
