UNC football recruits in line for national recognition

Posted Mar 17, 2009
Defensive linemen Brandon Willis and Corey Miller, and running back Marcus Lattimore are all heavily recruited players who could be in line for the national recognition next fall.

Both Miller and Willis are receiving offers from around the country. It may be Byrnes’ running back, however, who ends up being the most highly-prized recruit. Marcus Lattimore, MaxPreps’ National Junior of the Year, is in the early lead to be considered the country’s top rusher. (Max Preps)
