Nazair Jones Going Pro
Posted Nov 26, 2016
UNC junior defensive end Nazair Jones announced on Instagram that he is leaving UNC and entering his name in the NFL draft. Jones, a native of Roanoke Rapids, NC, is fifth on the Tar Heels with 62 tackles, 27 of which are solos. He missed the James Madison game due to a concussion. His decision comes as no surprise, though he wasn’t letting on last Tuesday.
