Maye made 26 starts across 2022 and 2023 and
compiled a 17-9 record as a starter. He has thrown for 8,018
yards, 63 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in his college career.
He ranks fourth all-time in North Carolina history in passing
touchdowns and fifth in passing yards.
"This is the best decision for me and my future," Maye told
ESPN. "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 told ESPN he will skip the Tar Heels' bowl game, the Duke's
Mayo Bowl against West Virginia, in order to begin preparing for
the draft.
Maye received Heisman Trophy votes last season, placing 10th as
he finished the season with 4,321 yards, 38 touchdowns and only
seven picks.
North Carolina fell from the rankings this season after a 6-0
start gave way to an 8-4 record at the close of the regular
season. Maye threw for 3,608 yards, 24 touchdowns and nine
interceptions over 12 games.
