The North Carolina Tar Heels are one of college football’s hottest programs on the recruiting trail. Already with the nation’s No. 3-ranked recruiting class for 2020, Mack Brown and the Tar Heels still await commitments from a number of their top targets in the class.
One of those targets is Payton Page, a 4-star defensive tackle out of Dudley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina. Ranked 66th in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite, Page is the No. 6 recruit at his position, and third in the state of North Carolina. The fact that Page is an in-state prospect bodes well for Brown and the Tar Heels, given that UNC has already gotten commitments from 11 of the state’s top 40 prospects.
