UNC adds "physical" defensive back, Patrice Rene

Posted Jan 19, 2016
New North Carolina defensive back commit Patrice Rene is exactly what UNC and Coach Warren are looking for in the secondary: Long, physical, talented, and smart. Ranked as the No. 40 cornerback and No. 11 prospect in Virginia, Rene completes UNC's desire for a safety for the 2016 class. Listed as a corner, the Tar Heels like Rene for the safety spot. He is a legit built 6-2, 190-pounds. (Carolina Blue)
