Posted Jun 15, 2015
Class of 2016 outside linebacker Tyrone Hopper (Roswell, GA) became UNC's sixth commitment of the 2016 class when he pledged to the Tar Heels shortly after Monday's camp. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound prospect spoke with CarolinaBlue on Monday evening. "I've been up here twice and it just felt like home to me," Hopper explain. "I got to see the campus today with all the coaches. I got to sit down with Coach Fedora and he was explaining to me how he wants me to be a Tar Heel."
