Ebele Okakpu likes UNC

Posted Jul 2, 2007

Ebele Okakpu spent the final weekend of June touring the campuses of North Carolina and Clemson. The Tar Heels edged the Tigers in making a more favorable impression on the running back. “It all went pretty good,” Okakpu said Sunday evening. “I like both of them. But North Carolina was probably the top one. It was really nice.” Okakpu has scholarship offers from Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Miami, North Carolina and Virginia Tech. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
