UNC Football: Tar Heels picking up momentum with 4-star target?

The North Carolina football program lost out on one of its 4-star targets in the class of 2020, as top-300 defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway committed to South Carolina in a ceremony at his high school on Thursday afternoon.

It’s not all bad news coming the Tar Heels’ way today, though, as a second UNC target — who’s set to make his college decision just a few hours after Hemingway — is trending heavily toward a commitment to North Carolina.

Ja’Qurious Conley, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound senior at Northside High School, will announce his college decision around 7:30 p.
