Levi Michael makes leap from high school to star at No. 1 UNC
Posted May 11, 2009
Levi Michael dreamed of playing baseball for UNC from the time he was a boy. When the opportunity arrived to turn that dream into a reality in unprecedented fashion, Michael grabbed it. Michael has done something rare at college baseball's elite level. He graduated from high school in January, enrolled at UNC three days later and was the Tar Heels' starting second baseman by the time the season began the third week of February.
