It has been a slow start to the 2018 recruiting class for the Heels, but tonight the Heels may have landed the prospect to get the ball moving in the right direction.

The Heels picked up the commitment of in-state OT Avery Jones. Jones is 6’4” 250 lbs, making him an athletic offensive tackle who moves very well. Jones, who plays at Havelock High School in Havelock, NC is the Heels first in-state prospect for the 2018 class. Jones is the No. 17 OT in the class and is ranked in the top 200 players in the nation, according to 247sports.com. The Heels land Jones over Virginia Tech, NC State, Vanderbilt and others.
