Devon Lawrence is going to be a Tar Heel.
Lawrence, the 3-star running back from Wake Forest High School, made his announcement Friday night after the Cougars played host to rival Heritage High. Lawrence had narrowed his list down to North Carolina and UCLA.
The Tar Heels seemed to always be the favorite. Lawrence took two visits to Chapel Hill recently - when UNC hosted Notre Dame and Miami - but never made an official trip to Los Angeles.
According to 247sports, Lawrence is the 18th best player in the state.
Last year he led Wake Forest to a 4AA state title and finished with 1,533 yards rushing and 25 touchdowns.
