Bluefield defensive end Sean Martin commits to North Carolina over WVU

In a battle of the Browns, talented Bluefield defensive end Sean Martin chose Mack over Neal.

Martin, the top-rated recruit in West Virginia’s Class of 2020, announced on Monday that he is committing to North Carolina. He was also pursued by WVU and Penn State.

“After a great visit, prayers and a lot of thinking, I have decided to follow my heart and go where I feel that best fits me as a person and a player,” Martin wrote on Twitter. “I am 100% committed to the University of North Carolina.”

Martin is an imposing 6-foot-6, 260-pound pass rusher — a physique that brings to mind former Tar Heel great Julius Peppers.
