ACC Football Kickoff 2024 will be well-represented by conference quarterbacks

The anticipation for the start of college football season continues to build, especially in the ACC, with the ACC Football Kickoff running until Thursday afternoon.

ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips started off Monday responding to the Big 12 Commissioner, highlighting the ACC is a Top-3 conference. Georgia Tech, Florida State and conference newcomer SMU followed Phillips, then Tuesday included appearances from Pitt, Virginia Tech, California, Stanford and Virginia.

The ACC Football Kickoff continues Wednesday with Miami, Louisville, Boston College, Duke and Wake Forest, then concludes Thursday with NC State, Syracuse, Clemson and our North Carolina Tar Heels.

Head coaches from every program either already were – or will – be there. Several players are also planned to make appearances – some program veterans, plus a few new guys.

One position group that will be well-represented at the ACC Football Kickoff, however, is quarterbacks.

“A whopping total of 19 quarterbacks are set to be in attendance at the ACC Football Kickoff, with every team but Florida State and Wake Forest bringing at least one,” CBS Sports’ Chip Patterson wrote. “Cal, Duke and North Carolina are all bringing two quarterbacks, so any questions about those upcoming quarterback competitions can be answered directly.”

At UNC, the quarterback battle likely comes down to Texas A&M transfer Max Johnson and last year’s Duke’s Mayo Bowl starter Conner Harrell, who’s been in Chapel Hill for the past two seasons. Both Johnson and Harrell will be available at 1 p.m. Thursday, when North Carolina takes the stage.
