NLI ALERT: Jabari Price, Defensive Back

The NLIs are coming in fast and furious to start the day to day as the Heels get their third letter of the day. Jabari Price, a 3-star defensive back from Pompano Beach, Florida has sent in his paperwork to the Kenan Football Center this morning.

A common theme with many of these Tar Heel commitments has been that they were originally committed elsewhere, then something happens to make them re-evaluate their decisions. Price was no exception; originally committed to coach Tim Brewster and the Minnesota Gophers, Price still took a visit to Chapel Hill in October and loved what the Heels had to offer. And with a 4.0 high school GPA, it's easy to understand what drew Price to Chapel Hill. “[UNC] has the perfect balance of academics and football,” Price said. “Most schools have football with no academics or academics with no football. It’s basically an advantage for North Carolina over other schools.”

Price has good size at cornerback (5'11, 170), and has great leaping ability, displaying the ability to fight for the ball in the air. He will definitely be a valuable player for the Tar Heels on defense.

That's now 8 commitments for the Tar Heels so far today. Coach Davis is definitely on the fast track getting these guys to have their NLIs in early on.
