He’s not a Walk on. Read the article said “UNC was one of eighteen schools to offer him.”
Any recruiting news?

Special teams, special teams....special teams. Can never have enough returners/gunners.
Don't forget about 4 star, Brant Lawless, who committed right before the start of this season. BIG-time DT from Tennessee will be a play-maker next year.
I have some ABC'er friends in the Charlotte area and wanted their thoughts of this kid. They said he can ball, especially in the return game. On O, give him the ball in space as he'll shake and bake.
Wasn't he primarily offered by 1AA programs?
That is not necessarily bad even a bit. Some guys are totally overlooked in recruiting, and some are overlooked until late.
I think I recall his name among players that Wake was considering offering.
He played on a bad North Meck team this year. The opposing team knew nearly everything went through him, and he still got his.
Hough and Mallard Creek are two of the better teams in the state. Here is what he did against those teams in three games this year..
20 receptions
458 receiving yards
4 TD's
Nice article on recent commit Emery Simmons.

Yea I noticed in the clip I posted he was putting in work on Mallerd Creek...
Haven't heard otherwise.

We have a punter committed: Ben Kiernan. He averaged 45.8 yards per punt, on 39 attempts, last year.
He grew up in Ireland playing rugby, which means he can run or lateral out of the punt formation.

Punter is always important, even when you score often.
Lawless is a unc student I think he had to wait until the next football season before joining the team

Don’t knows why it would cost him a year..Like a redshirt since he didn’t play..
And Mack pictured with him does not look like a new HC with a preferred walk on.
My guess is that Mack sees in him what he saw in some WRs he had at Texas: they don't seem quite fast enough, but they run perfect routes and have very good hands and block very well and always work to come back to the ball when the QB faces pressure. Classic 'possession' receiver. They make fast Home Run WRs more dangerous.
Mack flips another one, this time from Pitt. Khadry Jackson, a 6-2, 190 pound safety from Florida, to attend UNC. He was recruited as a linebacker. Mack made him a priority and Chad Scott went to work. We've moved up 12 spots from 69th to 57th since Mack took over. Mack having a pretty remarkable impact on our 2019 class in a very short period of time.
Sorry MWHeels, you beat me to it by a minute.

I saw an article just after Mack was hired that was talking about programs that had a lot of work to do in regards to 2019 class, and they showed UNC at #91. Regardless, he's done a hell of a job in both getting commits and what appears to be a solid coaching staff together. Can't wait until next fall.
No need to apologize Archer. We must have both seen the news at the same time lol.
We need to offer Lee Kpogba the Syracuse LB commit. He’s from N.C. and when asked about where he thought Jaden McKenzie ends up he said unc because if he was him that’s where he would go. Just reading between the lines sounds like he would love to get an offer. Lord knows we need linebackers too.
I’ve wondered for months why we didn’t get in the mix when he recommitted from
West Virginia and then chose Syracuse.
