Huge pickup for the Tar Heels with QB Bryn Renner
ESPN 150 Watch List prospect Bryn Renner committed to North Carolina while visiting campus, reports say.
He said of the decision, "They were my No. 1 school the whole time and I just wanted to make it clear that's where I wanted to go."
Programs such as Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Michigan State, Maryland and Virginia were also recruiting the talented junior who threw for 2,749 yards and 32 touchdowns last fall.
ESPN's Tom Luginbill said, "Renner is one of the best 2009 quarterbacks no one is talking about. Despite this commitment, expect his recruitment to gain momentum during the summer camp circuit."
"North Carolina has really upgraded their quarterback situation with this pickup. He's the dual-threat guy they were lacking."
