Tar Heels get commitment from Tarboro standout

Posted Jun 17, 2005

Shaun Draughn, one of the most versatile players on Tarboro High School's football team, has decided to play at North Carolina. Draughn, a 6-0, 195-pound rising senior, committed Wednesday after attending a three-day summer football camp at UNC. "He was a good player as a sophomore. Then he got into lifting weights. After about the first two games we played last year, I was talking to our other coaches and I said, 'Shaun Draughn is a man among boys now.' It was unbelievable how he blossomed in one year." (Winston-Salem Journal)
