Tar Heels crack Top 5 for four-star defensive back out of Florida

The UNC football program makes the top five for this four-star defensive back out of Florida.

It’s been a good week for Mack Brown and the UNC football program, landing several recruits for their 2023 class. But they also received some good news for a recruit that is not yet ready to commit.

Four-star defensive back Braeden Marshall provided an update to his recruitment on Sunday, narrowing his list of 32 offers down to just a top 5.

Marshall took to Twitter to reveal that he’s now focusing on UNC, UCF, Pitt, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. He’s also set to make his commitment on July 30th, picking between those five finalists.

The 5-foot-10, 170-pound defensive back hails out of Lake Mary, Florida and is ranked No. 394 overall, No. 41 defensive back and No. 78 player in the state of Florida per the 247Sports recruiting rankings.

Marshall was on UNC’s campus for an official visit at the end of June and also took visits to Pitt, UCF, and Wisconsin.
