Shrine Bowl: North Carolina standouts

Posted Dec 17, 2005

Wide receiver Hakeem Nicks of Charlotte's Independence High has also had a nice week of work. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Nicks flew under the radar during much of his stellar senior season, but had somewhat of a coming out party this week. While he has a big enough body to go across the middle and be physical with defensive backs, he also showed that he has enough speed to get open deep. North Carolina is getting a big-time playmaker with this one. (Irish Illustrated)
