Joel Starlings is taking his football talents — as well as his 6-foot-5, 310-pound frame — to Chapel Hill, N.C.
The recent Benedictine High graduate has signed with the University of North Carolina and will be suiting up for the ACC Tarheels this coming fall.
In helping Benedictine to the Virginia Independent Schools state title last season, Starlings made 76 tackles for the Cadets, including eight for losses. He was rated a four-star prospect (on a scale of 1 to 5) by most recruiting services.
Starlings had originally committed to the University of Michigan, but changed his mind following a coaching change in Ann Arbor.
