This four-star, position-less NC football player has 3 Triangle schools in his top 5 | News & Observer

One of the top football players in North Carolina released his top five schools Wednesday morning, and a trio of in-state ACC schools are in the running.

Class of 2019 four-star position-less player J.R. Walker (6-1, 205 pounds) out of Elizabeth City Northeastern, tweeted his list Wednesday morning, and it included Duke, N.C. State, UNC, South Carolina and Virginia Tech. The Blue Devils were the first school to offer a scholarship to Walker, who has been a full-time varsity starter the last two seasons after being pulled up from JV as a freshman.
