Mack Brown and the UNC football program were hoping to lure in-state wide receiver Noah Rogers to the Tar Heels before he eventually committed to Ohio State. But with early signing day looming, could the Tar Heels still be in the mix?
Rogers committed to the Buckeyes over the Summer, pledging the verbally to head to Ohio State. Since then, North Carolina as well as NC State has still been in pursuit of the talented receiver in hopes of a big flip eventually.
Now there are some rumors swirling that they could be pushing even more as Rivals points out in this tweet:

Heel Tough Blog had more on that from the Adam Friedman peace:
Friedman referenced two big elements that the Tar Heels have in their favor: the offense with Drake Maye this season and his brother being a member of the team.
It appears as if UNC is the team to watch here if there is a flip. There’s no guarantee of one and Rogers is expected to be in attendance next weekend at Ohio State vs. Michigan which could be something that plays a role in where he eventually signs.
