Mack Brown and the UNC football program have their second commitment in the 2025 recruiting class.
On Tuesday, the Tar Heels earned a big in-state commitment from three-star defensive lineman Gus Ritchey. The Pittsboro, North Carolina native visited UNC’s campus this weekend and it was enough for him to make a decision and end his recruitment as he committed on Tuesday.
Ritchey had a total of 19 offers in his recruitment and made the announcement via a special live stream on Inside Carolina. Ritchey also showed interest in Duke, Michigan, Notre Dame, Miami, and Maryland among others.
