Arnold down to UNC, Clemson
Running back James Arnold just recently said Auburn was his leader, but things have changed in the past two weeks. Who is he looking at right now?
"Well, right now it's basically between UNC and Clemson," said Arnold. "I like the football programs at both those schools and I'm comfortable with the coaches I've talked to from each place. That's just where I'm at right now."

The 5-foot-10, 171-pound back from Mocksville (N.C.) Davie County has rushed for 1,140 yards in leading his squad to a 7-0 record so far this year. He's seen most of his time at quarterback, and has also passed for almost 600 yards on the year.
"That's where my team needs me and wants me, so I've mostly been playing quarterback," he said. "It's not something I'll do in college -- I'm going to be a running back at the next level. But I've been doing well at quarterback. I've also intercepted six passes on defense."
Has Arnold set up any official visits yet?
"No I haven't, but I should be doing that before too long. I'm not sure when I'll go to schools, but I'm pretty sure I'll be going to at least UNC and Clemson."
