Dazz Newsome lists North Carolina in top-3

After decommitting from the University of Maryland during an official visit to UNC, the Tar Heels’ chances to land three-star athlete Dazz Newsome seem much greater than they did before.

And now that Newsome has listed UNC in his top-3, their chances seem even better.

Newsome is a 5-foot-10, 165-pound prospect that would be able to come in and immediately offer depth for the Tar Heels’ defensive backfield.

The Tar Heels’ secondary loses two starters in 2017, but returns seniors M.J. Stewart and Donnie Miles.
