Posted Nov 26, 2016
UNC junior defensive end Nazair Jones announced on Instagram that he is leaving UNC and entering his name in the NFL draft. Jones, a native of Roanoke Rapids, NC, is fifth on the Tar Heels with 62 tackles, 27 of which are solos. He missed the James Madison game due to a concussion. His decision comes as no surprise, though he wasn’t letting on last Tuesday. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
