Mack Brown and the UNC football program have added another name to their recruiting board for the 2023 class.
Four-star safety and Top 100 player in the 2023 class Jaylen Heyward has officially been offered by North Carolina as the Tar Heels enter the recruitment. The Rockledge, Florida native has 28 offers in his recruitment and recently picked one up from Alabama as well.
In addition to UNC and Alabama, Heyward has offers from LSU, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Texas A&M, and Tennessee among others.
For UNC to win out in this recruitment, they are going to have to beat out some top teams and that’s never easy.
EXTREMELY BLESSED TO RECEIVE
