UNC football finally added a crown jewel to their 2022 recruiting class. On Saturday, five-star defensive tackle Travis Shaw verbally committed to the Tar Heels. The announcement came during a ceremony at Grimsley High School.
The recruiting services are still trying to work through the evaluation challenges of the last 12 months, but any disagreements over Shaw’s potential are nothing more than quibbles. He holds a five-star ranking from Rivals and 247Sports, and is also a consensus top-20 player in the nation. Shaw is also a consensus top-10 defensive tackle/lineman and the #1 player in North Carolina.
