Pianalto Nixes Texas, Chooses UNC
Posted Jan 2, 2007
When new North Carolina coach Butch Davis came calling, Zack Pianalto felt he had to listen. Pianalto liked what he heard, so much so that the former Springdale High tight end changed his commitment from Texas to the Tar Heels this past weekend. Now, instead of going to play for the defending college football champions, Pianalto is headed to play for Davis, a Springdale native, as he tries to rebuild the Carolina program.
