Class of 2020 four-star wide receiver Josh Downs, from Suwanee (Ga.) North Gwinnett, was planning to take numerous visits in the coming months and maybe commit late in the summer, but over the weekend, after his second visit to Chapel Hill in a week, it hit him that he wanted to be a Tar Heel. North Carolina beat out Georgia Tech, Michigan and NC State for Downs. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
