UNC commit James Hurst ranked #7 nationally

Posted May 9, 2009
Plainfield's James Hurst, who recently committed to North Carolina, is ranked No. 7 overall in the 2010 class nationally. "James Hurst is just so good at tackle," Rivals.com recruiting analyst Greg Ladky said. He is great in pass protection, and he will put defenders into the ground run blocking. While Seantrel Henderson has the most upside at tackle, I think Hurst is the surest thing at the offensive tackle spot. Given how important left tackles are, Hurst is Indiana's most valuable prospect." (Indianapolis Star)
