Four-star safety picks up offer from UNC football

Mack Brown and the UNC football program are targeting this four-star safety out of Florida in the 2024 class.

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.

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Heyward is ranked No. 84 overall, No. 11 safety and No. 26 player in the state of Florida per the 247Sports recruiting rankings.

UNC currently does not have a commitment in the 2024 class.
