Wolfpack lands fullback; Tar Heels losing recruits
Posted Jun 30, 2009
At least three members of UNC's incoming freshman class are expected to attend prep school in the coming academic year and a fourth recruit will likely enroll in a junior college, according to sources in Chapel Hill. Justin Dixon, a 6-1, 225-pound linebacker from Smithfield, and Johnnie Farms, a 6-3, 300-pound offensive lineman from Perry, Ga., will attend Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va. D.J. Bunn, a 6-0, 190-pound defensive back from Smithfield, is expected to attend prep school also, possibly Hargrave.
