North Carolina added a running back to its 2011 class today, one day before national signing day. Stephen Houston, an honorable mention junior college All-American at Independence Community College in Kansas, has committed to the Tar Heels. Houston is 5-foot-10 and 220 pounds and originally signed with Mississippi out of Lakota West High in West Chester, Ohio. Houston fills a positional need for UNC after running back Savon Huggins of Jersey City, N.J., committed to Rutgers on Friday.
