Each of the three have played key roles to UNC’s success so far this season, led by the play of Maye at quarterback. While he hasn’t put up Heisman numbers yet, Maye has been really good again this season and is coming off a big game against Pitt.
Huzzie has been a staple in UNC’s secondary, helping the defense get off to a hot start this season. Copenhaver has played a role on both offense and special teams for the Tar Heels.
