Bowl could be last game for Hakeem Nicks as a Tar Heel
Posted Dec 27, 2008
Butch Davis, apparently, isn’t the only one who believes Nicks’ skills are comparable to that of an NFL player. And that’s why Hakeem Nicks may be playing his final game for North Carolina today when it meets West Virginia in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Nicks wasn’t giving away any secrets Friday. But many in the UNC program believe the junior from Charlotte will forgo his final year of college eligibility and declare for the NFL Draft soon after the completion of today’s game.
