UNC recruiting breakdown

Posted Feb 5, 2009
With UNC losing its top four receivers from last season, the door is wide open for highly touted Josh Adams and Jheranie Boyd to compete for playing time. Adams, because he’s already enrolled, could actually challenge for a starting job. Wide receiver Erik Highsmith was focused on basketball as a freshman and sophomore. Once he got serious about football, he caught 150 passes over his final two seasons. (Fayetteville Observer)
