Three-star quarterback Noah Spinks<\/a> announced his commitment to North Carolina on Monday, choosing the Tar Heels over Utah.<\/p>\n

A 6-foot-1, 205-pound left-hander from Houston (Texas) Summer Creek High School, Spinks spent the past two weekends taking official visits to his two finalists before making his decision.<\/p>\n

Before going public with his commitment, Spinks spoke with Inside Carolina about why he chose UNC and what comes next.<\/p>\n

Why UNC?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy? Because they\u2019re going to develop me into an NFL quarterback.\u201d<\/p>\n

When did you actually commit, and how did it happen?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, during Sunday morning breakfast, the whole coaching staff was sitting around me, and they were like, \u2018Hey, we want you.\u2019 Coach [Bobby] Petrino told me he wants me to be a Tar Heel. And I was like, \u2018Man, I\u2019m all in.\u2019 I was going to tell them anyway. So I was like, \u2018I\u2019m all in, Coach, this is where I want to be.\u2019 It was a good moment. The coaching staff was clapping. We were all hyped. So it was cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

What was your mindset going into the visit? Did you expect to commit?<\/p>\n

\u201cI came into the weekend just really loving UNC. I really love Coach Matt Lombardi. I\u2019ve had a lot of great conversations with him. Coach Belichick and Coach Petrino are also really great coaches. So I came in the weekend thinking, \u2018If everything goes according to plan, this is going to be the place for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the quarterback, you\u2019ll become one of the faces of the recruiting class. Do you plan to help recruit other prospects?<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sir. I\u2019ve already talked to a few of the coaches about recruiting in Houston. We\u2019re going to try to get the best players. And actually, all of Texas, really. If you\u2019re in Texas, we\u2019re going to recruit you.\u201d<\/p>\n

A fellow Texan, linebacker Aaron Williams<\/a>, also officially visited UNC this past weekend. Have you been working on him?<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sir, I did talk to him. He really loved [the visit]. I\u2019m going to talk again this week about making North Carolina home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will you enroll early?<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sir, I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

How does it feel now that the decision is made?<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited. I\u2019ve been wanting to be a Tar Heel all my life. It\u2019s been my dream school since I was in middle school. I\u2019ve always looked at the Jordan Brand and the Carolina Blue and the culture of UNC, and it\u2019s just a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three-star quarterback Noah Spinks announced his commitment to North Carolina on Monday, choosing the Tar Heels over Utah.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":724023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,350589,85],"class_list":["post-724022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-noah-spinks","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=724022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/724023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=724022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=724022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=724022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
