Importance Of Jonathan Smith & UNC

Posted Aug 14, 2015
Jonathan Smith will make his college decision Friday, and while he is listing a top five, it is shaping up as a Duke vs. North Carolina battle for the No. 1 in-state linebacker. If the Tar Heels can land Smith, who plays at Laurinburg Scotland, it would give a big boost to the class since he is the type of player defensive coordinator Gene Chizik could build a class around, and he could give a boost the 2016 and 2017 in-state recruiting efforts.
