Tar Heels behind Gators for Gideon Ajagbe

Posted Feb 18, 2009
2010 ESPNU 150 Watch List prospect Gideon Ajagbe told affiliate Web site GatorCountry.com, "Florida is still number one on my list. I love the coaches and I have a really good bond with them and they really care about me."

However, the 6-foot-2, 197-pounder also discussed an out-of-state school that's in the mix, "UNC is my number two right now. Both UNC and Florida have great science programs and I am also going to college to get an education, I want to be a nutritionist when it is all said and done and both schools have really good programs, so that is another thing that helps them."
