Quinn Closson (Fairfield, Conn.), one of New England's top Class of 2021 goalkeepers, has verbally committed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Closson, 17, joined New York City FC’s academy program last year from FC Westchester and is currently with their MLS NEXT U-19 team.
The Tar Heels have won two Division I national championships and another three ACC tournament titles, plus routinely send players to the professional ranks. That environment was hard to turn down.
