UNC offers 2011 CB Demetrious Nicholson

Posted Jun 26, 2009
Scout.com reports that UNC has offered a scholarship to 2011 cornerback Demetrious Nicholson out of Virginia Beach. Nicholson is currently unranked by the three major recruiting services (Rivals.com, Scout.com, and ESPN), but he looks to be a top-level prospect if he performs up to expectations his junior and senior seasons. Nicholson is somewhat undersized at only 150 pounds, but will likely add some weight as he matures physically. Based on his summer camp performances, he's developing a reputation as a true lock down cover corner.
