After hiring former NFL head coach Bill Belichick, UNC football immediately became a destination that transfers wanted to visit with the winter portal currently open.
One of those is former five-star recruit and Texas A&M defensive lineman, Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy. According to 247 Sports, Brownlow-Dindy was a five-star recruit, holding a 98 ranking.
He was the No. 11 ranked player in the nation, the No. 4 ranked defensive lineman, and the No. 2 ranked player in Florida when he came out of high school. Brownlow-Dindy committed to Texas A&M and has spent his first three years of college football there.
With the Aggies, he has played in just eight games mainly filling a reserve role which probably led to his intent to leave Texas A&M and move on.
According to 247 Sports, Brownlow-Dindy is a three-star transfer with a rating of 89. He is the No. 5 ranked DL in the portal right now.

Andrew Ivins had this to say about the pass rusher coming out of high school.
Fires out of his stance with a lethal first step. Constantly in control of his body and doesn’t lose his balance or bearing easily. Understands how to bend and find leverage while crashing gaps. Keeps feet pumping and plays with a steady level of energy. Mauling tackler with the grip strength to corral ball carriers and make stops outside the hashes. Wins more times than not with a simple bullrush, but knows how to swim his way past blockers and is equipped with a few pass-rushing moves.
Brownlow-Dindy will visit North Carolina amongst other visits in the portal including Alabama, Vanderbilt, and South Carolina.
