Mack Brown and the UNC football program had a big past few weeks in terms of football recruiting, landing several recruits in the 2023 class. With the commitments, the Tar Heels climbed the recruiting rankings and find themselves inside the Top 25 nationally.
But on Sunday, the Tar Heels missed out on an in-state recruit.
Wilkes Central offensive tackle Kamen Smith ended his recruitment on Sunday, picking NC State over North Carolina, Virginia Tech and others in the process. The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Smith is a three-star recruit that had a total of 13 offers but only made visits to the Tar Heels, Wolfpack and Hokies.

Smith is ranked No. 738 nationally, the No. 64 offensive tackle and No. 23 player in the state of North Carolina per the 247Sports recruiting rankings.
UNC now focuses their attention to other recruits in the 2023 class as they look to keep building on the momentum they have.
