Two horse race for Hemby

Cornerback/athlete Jordan Hemby has narrowed things down to two schools. It looks like a Tobacco Road recruiting war for one of the top prospects in North Carolina.

"I've narrowed things down to UNC and NC State," said Hemby. "I decided that I want to stay in the state to play football, and those are the best two programs in the state. UNC might have a slight edge right now, but those are the two I'm looking at."

Is there any chance the 5-foot-10, 176-pound prospect from Morganton (N.C.) Freedom will change his mind?

"I guess there's always a chance, but when it comes time to make my choice, those two are more than likely going to be the two I'm looking at. Both have offered and I've taken official visits to both schools. Coaches from both schools have come by for in-home visits and they're still showing a lot of interest in me.

"All those factors, plus the location and just the fact that I like both of them are why I'm down to those two. I'll probably make my decision sometime soon when I get back to school after our break."
