If you aren’t careful, you might get the impression an outgoing Duke basketball star is extending his college athletics career in another sport and for a rival team.

Grayson Allen isn’t joining the North Carolina football roster. But Grayson’s Allen Smith is committed to join the UNC team in 2019.

Smith – a 6-foot-3, 210-pound three-star outside linebacker – is a junior at Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga., east of Atlanta

The school has gained much attention from major college football programs, as home to eight of the top 50 Class of 2019 prospects in Georgia, according to composite rankings by 247sports.
