Wide receiver Tyler Smith out of McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Georgia, will not sign today, opting to postpone his enrollment by a semester. The 5’11”, 185-pound Smith is ranked as the 53rd best wide receiver in the class of 2017 and 360th overall. He was ranked 366th in 247Sports’ national composition.
Smith received interest from schools like Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Auburn before ultimately deciding to become a Tar Heel. He said that having a degree from UNC if playing in the NFL didn’t work out was one of the reasons he wanted to be a Tar Heel.
