E.J. Abrams-Ward would like to play for Heels

Posted Jan 27, 2009
E.J. Abrams-Ward would like the chance to continue his football career at North Carolina after he leaves Tennessee in the spring, assistant coach Sam Captain of Thomasville High School said yesterday. Captain has spoken to defensive coordinator Everett Withers of UNC about Abrams-Ward but no decision will be made immediately.

UNC is finishing its recruiting for national signing day Feb. 4, and it won't know until after that if Abrams-Ward can be added to the class or if Coach Butch Davis wants him.

Abrams-Ward was dismissed from Tennessee's program last week. Tennessee did not give a reason for the dismissal. (Winston-Salem Journal)
