Dwight Jones, Ebele Okakpu sit out UNC pro day
Posted Mar 20, 2012
The birthday bash that briefly cost University of North Carolina wide receiver Dwight Jones his eligibility also means he sat out Tuesday when the rest of the Tar Heels put on a show for NFL scouts. Ebele Okakpu, a linebacker dismissed from the team in the fall for conduct detrimental, was also not allowed to perform at UNC Tuesday.
