Two ways UNC can get back in the football recruiting race with NC State

Posted Jul 2, 2018
Over the first three weeks of June, the Wolfpack secured nine football recruits, including four of the top 30 players in North Carolina. By contrast, UNC picked up two top 50 North Carolinians in June – Hope Mills wide receiver Emery Simmons and Havelock wide receiver Weldon Spottsville. The Tar Heels are twenty spots behind the Wolfpack in national recruiting rankings. (ACC Sports Journal)
