Recruiting Round-Up: The Tar Heel State

Posted Mar 26, 2009
Tom Lemming recently toured through North Carolina, interviewing and evaluating the top prospects in the Tar Heel State. While 2009 is not a banner year of talent, there are still blue-chip recruits to be had. The first name on most college recruiters’ board is Robert Crisp, a large offensive lineman from Chapel Hill.

Crisp, the teammate of 2008 prospect Jared McAdoo, is a 6-foot-8, 300-pound tackle who is one of the top three or four players at his position nationwide. “If you drew up a great player, it would be him,” Lemming said of Crisp. (Max Preps)
