UNC’s top defensive prospect, and NC high school star, decommits | News & Observer

Orange High School linebacker, Payton Wilson, one of the top prospects in the country, has decommitted from UNC, he announced in a tweet on Wednesday.

Wilson, a 6-4, 210-pound outside linebacker, is a four-star prospect, and ranked No. 3 at his position. Since his commitment to UNC in May, he has visited both Notre Dame and N.C. State.

Wilson tore his ACL during a game for Orange High School last month. Efforts to reach Wilson were unsuccessful.
