The UNC football program continues to be involved in high powered recruitments and there is no difference this time as it landed in the final three for a highly-coveted offensive lineman.
2023 OL [autotag]Luke Burgess[/autotag] announced a final three of North Carolina, Florida State and Louisville on Wednesday and also set official visits with all three.
The Tar Heels will receive the first visit (June 3-5), then Florida State (June 10-12) and wrapping up with Louisville (June 17-19).
Burgess touched on why UNC made the final list with 247Sports.
“I think one of my favorite parts of North Carolina is Coach Bicknell along with Coach Mack Brown. I think they are amazing people as well as good coaches. I also believe Coach Brown’s pedigree is also very important to me and how stable they are at North Carolina. Another reason I love UNC is Coach Bicknell’s experience in the NFL and top college programs is very attractive to me.”
Burgess had over 30 offers to his name and is ranked the No. 406 player in the country in the 247Sports composite rankings.
The New Palenstine (IN) product is a 6-foot-7 and 285-pound prospect. He visited North Carolina unofficially last weekend.
UNC currently has three commitments in the class of 2023, being four-star defensive lineman Joel Starlings – who committed this week, four-star quarterback Tad Hudson and three-star offensive tackle Nolan McConnell.
