Maye is a household name at the University of North Carolina.

It started when Luke Maye hit “The Shot heard ’round Chapel Hill” in the 2017 men’s basketball NCAA Tournament, sending UNC to its second-consecutive Final Four. The Heels ended up winning the title that year, holding off Gonzaga for their sixth title.

Fast-forward a few years, and Drake Maye is the best quarterback in college football.

Drake finished fourth among Football Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks in passing yards (4,321) and played himself into the Heisman Trophy conversation. He’s a preseason Heisman contender and projected to go in the first round in the 2024 NFL draft.

There’s another Maye brother you might not know as much about: Beau Maye. Beau, who grabbed two rebounds in two minutes for UNC during the 2022-2023 season, will not return.

There was no reason given for Beau Maye leaving the program, but it’s not a huge blow for the Heels. They already return talented starters in Armando Bacot and R.J. Davis, plus a key reserve (and possible future starting center) in Jalen Washington, then brought in electric point guard Elliot Cadeau, Zayden High and a slew of tranfers.

Whether he left to watch his brother sling it on the gridiron or not, it would’ve been unique to still say there’s two Mayes playing at UNC.
