The UNC football program may not be done adding to their roster for the 2022 season.
Mack Brown and the Tar Heels are reportedly getting a visit from a former four-star safety that is in the transfer portal. Former Ohio State safety Lejond Cavazos is set to visit both Colorado and North Carolina per Chris Hummer of 247Sports.
The 6-foot-1, 196-pound Safety has struggled to find his spot on the depth chart with the Buckeyes and opted to enter the transfer portal. With just a few weeks until the deadline in the portal, Cavazos could be close to making his decision and appears to be focusing on Colorado and UNC.

For the Tar Heels, they do have a need in the secondary and Cavazos could fill that void.
Head coach Mack Brown even revealed that the team has been pursuing options in the portal still as Inside Carolina writes:
“We are looking aggressively at the portal,” Brown said. “I mean, every guy that goes into the portal, we look at him. He has to be a perfect fit academically. He has to be a perfect fit with his character and socially, and we don’t want to bring someone in that’s not starting.”
The former four-star recruit had seven tackles and defended two passes in 2021, playing in limited time.
