With the firing of head coach Butch Davis at the University of North Carolina, Holy Spirit linebacker Dan Mastromatteo plans to decommit from the Atlantic Coast Conference school according to Spirit head coach Chalie Roman.

Mastromatteo earlier made a verbal commitment to attend North Carolina. "He may decommit this afternoon," Roman said. "He loves the school, but it's the coaching situation and the possiblity that the school can receive sanctions."

The 6-foot-3, 235-pound Mastromatteo had 90 tackles and 11 sacks for a Holy Spirit team that went 12-0 and was the Non-Public state Group 3 champion.
