Five-star UNC football target cuts list down to final six

A top UNC football recruiting target has cut his list down to six and has set a decision date for November to end his recruitment.

The recruitment for five-star defensive lineman [autotag]Daevin Hobbs[/autotag] is nearing an end here this Fall.

The Concord, North Carolina product made an important update to his recruitment on Wednesday, cutting his list of 26 offers down to a final six and setting an announcement date. Hobbs will make his decision on November 25th and will pick between UNC, Ohio State, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and Michigan.

The final six list is filled with college powers, making a tough task ahead for UNC to keep the talented recruit in the state of North Carolina.  The 6-foot-4, 262-pound Hobbs is a top 50 overall prospect and is ranked No. 1 overall in the state of North Carolina.

Hobbs has made a few different visits so far, taking trips to UNC, Auburn, Ohio State, Tennessee, and Georgia. He’s scheduled to head to Alabama this weekend for a visit.

Right now, it’s tough to project who is in the lead in this recruitment and while the Tar Heels have the three predictions on the 247Sports crystal ball, those all came over the Summer or back in May. And things may have changed in his recruitment since then.
