4-Star Athlete Tahj Capehart of Bishop Sullivan Catholic in Virginia Beach (Va.) is set to make his college commitment on Saturday during the 11 AM EST hour of High School Sports Talk Presented by VirginiaPreps.com on ESPN Radio 94.1.

Capehart has a Top 10 consisting of Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Nebraska, North Carolina, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

While most schools are looking at Capehart to play wide receiver, the Tar Heels have recruited him for the defensive side of the ball. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound speedster has developed a good relationship with assistant coach Larry Porter.

"I definitely like UNC. Coach Porter has been contacting me and wanting me to play DB for them just because of the receiver situation they have with a whole bunch of commits. I really like the players down there. They're down to Earth and hard-working," Capehart told THI in a Video Interview back in June.

"I feel like that's a natural position for me. I really like scoring touchdowns, but on defense I'm not bad either."

In 2014 as a sophomore, Capehart had 30 receptions for 623 yards and 10 touchdowns in helping Ocean Lakes capture its first ever State Championship. Last year, he had 25 receptions for 606 yards and six touchdowns to go with 32 total tackles, seven pass breakups, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery on defense.
