Jesuit junior baseball player Adrian Chacon has verbally committed to the University of North Carolina, Tigers coach Richie Warren said Friday.

Chacon, who plays third base, catcher and pitcher for the Tigers, also was being recruited by Florida, Central Florida and Vanderbilt, among others. He is the second Jesuit junior to give a verbal pledge to the Tar Heels, joining pitcher Spencer Trayner.

Chacon hit .292 with 19 runs scored last season for Jesuit’s Class 4A state runner-up squad. He also posted a 0.78 ERA over 18 innings on the mound, with 19 strikeouts and just two walks.
