Tar Heels hosting DE Jackson
Butch Davis and North Carolina will have one of the most talented defensive lines in the nation this fall and they are looking to continue to find talent and depth up front for the future.
Brandon Jackson is one of the Tar Heels' top defensive end targets from the Class of 2011 and he is in Chapel Hill right now.

North Carolina has been recruiting the 6-foot-4, 220-pound defensive end from McKeesport, Pennsylvania for a while now, and Jackson is very interested in the ACC school.
"I'm up at North Carolina right now," Jackson said on Friday afternoon. "It's real nice. I haven't seen anything I don't like."
Jackson arrived in Chapel Hill at around 4 a.m. early Friday morning and he is staying in a hotel nearby. Friday is the only day he is planning on being in town. He will be leaving tomorrow morning.
This is the last trip for Jackson before the summer ends and school starts back up. The last trip he took prior to this one was to Rutgers.
"I think I'm probably going to wait until the fall (before a decision)," Jackson said. "There are just so many schools I like. I still have to find the right fit. I still can't decide."
Jackson is ranked the No. 38 defensive end in the nation by Rivals.com.
The Tar Heels are also recruiting Jackson's teammate, defensive tackle Delvon Simmons.
