For the second straight season, Mack Brown and UNC will have a 5-star freshman on its defense. It was Tony Grimes this fall, and next year it'll be strong-side defensive end Keeshawn Silver, after he put pen to paper Wednesday at Rocky Mount High to solidify his intent to play in Chapel Hill. Silver, at 6-foot-5, 275-pounds, is the nation’s No. 5 SDE. (Inside Carolina)
