**************************************************************************************
Remember, for just $8.33 a month, YOU CAN BE A TAR HEELS INSIDER, TOO!!!
***************************************************************************************
*The difference now that he’s working this summer fighting for a job as opposed to just getting acclimated a year ago.
*Maye has put on eight pounds since the end of spring practice and says he’s at 220 pounds. He also discussed what he has done to gain that weight.
*He spoke extensively about battling Jacolby Criswell for the job, their relationship, and learning from each other.
*The Tar Heels have raised the competitive level of the PLPs (player-led practices) this offseason, which benefits Maye and Criswell a great deal since they haven’t seen much live action in games yet.
*He hears all the time from people asking this offseason if he will be the starting QB. He has learned to take it in stride.
*Maye hasn’t thought much about being part of a two-QB system this fall, but he was asked about it and answered the question.
