QB, North Carolina, 6-4, 220, 3rd … QB2 for 2024 barely played as a true frosh, but exploded on the national scene last fall when he threw for over 4,300 yards and 38 TDs. Maye has prototype size for a pocket passer with the frame to add another 10-15 pounds. He also has elite arm talent with the arm strength to make all the throws at the next level; can also fit the ball into those tight windows. Accurate passer completed 67% of his throws last fall, despite playing behind a somewhat leaky offensive front. Also an underrated athlete who can escape trouble in the pocket as well as make designed plays with his legs; indeed, ran for just under 700 yards and 7 scores last fall. Still somewhat of a work in progress, though, as he needs to learn to play faster. Tends to be a little hesitant going through progressions and delivering the ball; also not always the most accurate passer once he leaves the pocket. Will get points from pro scouts, though, for sticking with the Tar Heels as he could have transferred to just about any program in the country this winter including the likes of Ohio State, Alabama and Georgia.
