Despite disastrous weather and game, Jalen Holston’s UNC visit went well

Last week, Keeping It Heel highlighted UNC’s recruitment of four-star running back Jalen Holston before his trip to Chapel Hill for the Tar Heels’ football game against Virginia Tech.

As recently as last week, the Tar Heels were considered a slight underdog to Virginia Tech in the recruitment of Holston. Despite Saturday’s inclement weather and lopsided football game, UNC appears to have gained some ground with the 5’11’’, 200-pound running back.

Holston spent the weekend with several other UNC recruits, most of which have already committed to the Tar Heels. Michael Carter, Jake Lawler and others did their best to sway Holton’s upcoming decision.

The Stockbridge, Georgia native has become one of the Tar Heels’ top priorities in the class of 2017.

Before making a decision, Holston plans to visit the Virginia Tech campus on the weekend of November 26th when the Hokies face off against in-state rival Virginia.
