It didn’t take Junior Gnonkonde (Lakeland, Ga./Lanier County) long to find his new home. This 2012 three-star defensive end is now headed to the University of North Carolina after visiting Chapel Hill this weekend. “Yes, I committed," Gnonkonde said. “It was just a great visit and I felt comfortable enough to go ahead and make a decision. I liked everything and everyone was so nice. They made me feel so at home.”
