UNC QB Drake Maye Declares for 2024 NFL Draft, Won't Play in Bowl Game
One of the top prospects in all of college football is making the early jump to the next level.
North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye is declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft, making his announcement via social media Monday night.
"Just sitting down with my family and the people I trust the most in life, including my coaches," Maye told ESPN's Pete Thamel about his decision. "This is the best decision for me and my future. It was my lifelong dream to play quarterback at North Carolina, and I get a chance to check off another dream and play quarterback in the NFL."
Maye will not play in North Carolina's bowl game, per Thamel.
After two impressive seasons as the starter for the Tar Heels, Maye now heads to the pros as one of the top overall talents in the entire 2024 draft class, and will be in contention for the No. 1 pick.
