Posted Feb 5, 2009
UNC unveiled a 29-player group Wednesday, with more than half the players coming from within the state. The list included: six players who made The AP All-State prep football team for North Carolina; 10 players who were rated four-star recruits by Scout.com; and one five-star selection: Donte Moss, a lineman from Jacksonville and one of the nation's top-rated defensive end prospects. Scout.com ranked North Carolina's class fifth nationally. (WRAL Sports Fan)
