UNC's Early Enrollees

Posted on 9:30 AM by BDM

Since this blog is unashamedly run by a UNC Tar Heels fan, I figure it's only best to give a quick UNC primer on the 2010 Tar Heel Football Recruiting Class.

The Heels have already enrolled 5 members of this year's class, who are on campus and taking class as we speak. They are:

- Offensive tackle James Hurst
- Offensive tackle T.J. Leifheit
- Tight end Sean Fitzpatrick
- Defensive tackle Brandon Willis
- Defensive back D.J. Bunn

James Hurst is arguably the best player in the UNC class. Ranked as one of the top five best offensive tackles in the country, Hurst committed to UNC in September and never wavered. He played his high school ball in Plainfield, Indiana.

T.J. Leifheit is UNC's highest-ranked commitment from inside the state of North Carolina, where he played at Hoggard High School in Wilmington. Standing at 6'7 and over 300 pounds, Leifheit has the size and ability to contribute early.

Sean Fitzpatrick comes to UNC by way of Pittsford-Mendon High School in Pittsford, New York. A tall target at 6'6, Fitzpatrick played multiple positions in high school, including quarterback, receiver, and tight end.

Brandon Willis has the pedigree to be a dominating defensive linemen before his career in Chapel Hill is finished. A product of Byrnes High School in Duncan, South Carolina, Willis had committed to Tennessee but switched after Lane Kiffin left for Southern California.

D.J. Bunn originally committed to the Tar Heels for the Class of 2009, but academic issues prevented him from coming to Chapel Hill right out of Smithfield-Selma High School in Smithfield, North Carolina. After spending a semester at Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia, Bunn qualified and enrolled in classes this past January.

Want to know more about these and other future Tar Heel stars as they commit? Tune into Signing Day Live on TarHeelBlue.com, featuring live coverage from inside the Kenan Football Center in Chapel Hill.

And stay tuned to H2TheBSOfA...updates will be coming fast and furious once Signing Day Live gets fully underway. There will be "NLI Alerts" for every recruit who sends in their National Letter of Intent to the Kenan Football Center fax machine, as well as commentary on how some of the top classes in the ACC and around the country are shaping up.
