Q&A with 2016 UNC commit Jonathan Smith
Posted Aug 15, 2015
Recent UNC linebacker commit Jonathan Smith: "Wednesday I talked to Coach (Papuchis) and he just told me that Carolina was the place that I needed to be and I believed him. The last visit I took, they showed me a lot about the school and what they have to offer, and I just made up my mind that I'm going to be a Tar Heel. It was a lot of going back and forth, seeing what Duke had to offer and what North Carolina had to offer and it was just North Carolina outweighed Duke."
