In Mack Brown’s first full season back on the sideline, he and the North Carolina Tar Heels secured a top-20 class for the 2020 recruiting cycle. They’re off to an even better start with the class of 2021, where they’ve currently got the nation’s No. 4-ranked class, which includes 10 4-star prospects and 14 of the top 40 recruits in the state of North Carolina.
They’ve already got one of college football’s best signal callers in rising sophomore Sam Howell, as well as commitments from a pair of promising young quarterbacks in Jacolby Criswell and Drake Maye.
