Smithfield-Selma duo likes fit at UNC
Posted Jul 11, 2008
Smithfield-Selma football coach Anthony Barbour knew Justin Dixon and D.J. Bunn could be special players when they reported for practice four years ago as freshmen. "You could just tell, especially Dixon. The way they were built. The way they moved. They passed the eyeball test," Barbour said. "I knew they had a chance to be great players." Both have committed to the University of North Carolina.
