Shane Mularkey: UNC's 'sleeper' recruit
Posted Feb 3, 2009
Llinebacker Shane Mularkey doesn’t have nearly as many stars next to his name as most of the highly recruited players on North Carolina’s commitment list. But Mularkey, who’s rated as a two-star player by rivals.com, may be one of the gems of this recruiting class. Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Mike Farrell considers Mularkey, who’s the son of Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey, to be the sleeper in this class.
