Jackson Simmons to Walk-On at UNC
Posted Aug 17, 2010
Since his days at Kansas, Roy Williams has always incorporated in-state walk-ons into his program. On Tuesday, the coach may have scored his best one yet when he convinced Class of 2011 power forward Jackson Simmons to walk on for the Heels and bypass a litany of mid-major offers. The Tar Heels accepted a verbal commitment from Simmons, a 6-foot-7 rising senior out of Sylva (N.C.) Smoky Mountain. “It came out of left field,” Simmons said. “It’s truly an honor. I don’t really know what to say.”
