North Carolina added one of the nation's top high-school linemen to its recruiting class less than a month before national signing day. Brennan Williams, a 6-6, 270-pound senior at Catholic Memorial High in West Roxbury, Mass., committed during the weekend while in San Antonio, Texas, for the U.S. Army high-school All-Star game. Williams also considered Wake Forest and Boston College and had at least 20 scholarship offers. (Winston-Salem Journal)
