CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Sam Howell has come full circle.
North Carolina's junior quarterback started his college career by leading the Tar Heels to a come-from-behind victory over South Carolina in the 2019 season opener at Bank of America Stadium. Now, nearly 28 months later, the projected first round NFL draft pick will look to close out things out with a victory over those same Gamecocks at the same stadium in the Duke's Mayo Bowl in what is expected to be his final game before turning pro.
"To kind of relive that moment and get that same opportunity is going to be kind of fun," said Howell, who grew up in Charlotte.
