DL Sheldon Rankins has UNC in top-5

Posted May 6, 2011
Playing diferent spots on defense, Covington (Ga.) junior defensive lineman Sheldon Rankins says it's all about the preparations. Judging from his numbers last year, it is easy to see the 6-foot-3 and 260-pound Rankins has prepared well. "My top 5 right now with no specific leader would be Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Louisville, South Florida and North Carolina," said Rankins. "I have followed all those schools closely. North Carolina has a good atmosphere and a good college town and I had a good feel when I visited there." (Cardinal Report)
