@ 11.tw an- Instagram The Tar Heels have been losing members of the 2026 class over the last few weeks and the position that has been most affected is the tight end spot. On Thursday, another tight end added his name to that decommitment list. As first reported by Hunter Shelton of Rivals, 2026 3✮ ATH Aveon Williams, who the Tar Heels were planning to play at tight end, has decommitted from UNC. Williams, the No. 676 overall prospect, had been committed since June 15th. With

With the NCAA dead period set to start on December 1st, the Tar Heels are hosting one last weekend of official visits before the early signing period in hopes of adding some more members to their 2026 class which already has 36 commits.

David Jensen- Getty Images It wasn’t the type of performance coaches or players could be, or should be proud of, but the Tar Heels managed to win 73-61 last night over Navy, to complete a five-game homestand to begin the season, with a perfect record. After the win, the assembled media had to wait nearly 30 minutes to have access to the players, as there was a team meeting called after the game to address the lack of energy, effort, and concentration against an overmatched bu

Sports Illustrated A long homestand to begin the 2025-26 season comes to a close later tonight in the Smith Center, as the #18 Tar Heels will host Navy, in their fifth straight home game to open the season. The five-game homestand is the longest to begin a season since 1918-19, and it features a historical win over Kansas a few weeks ago. The last time Carolina took the floor, they blew out North Carolina Central, 97-53, securing their second 40-point win this season. After t

@carsynn._- Instagram The Tar Heels are not desperately searching to add another commitment in the 2026 recruiting class at the running back spot, but they might have a gift that falls into their laps in the form of a Florida commit. According to his Rivals page, 2026 4✮ RB Carsyn Baker will officially visit Chapel Hill for the team’s game with the Duke Blue Devils starting on November 21st. Baker has already officially visited Kentucky and will also be officially visiting Ol

David Jensen- Getty Images The Tar Heels came into Saturday’s game with a chance to get on the doorstep of making a bowl game and extend their win streak over Wake Forest to five games. Despite getting across the Wake 40 six times, the team was only able to come away with 12 points and the defense wasn’t able to win the way they had in the previous three games for the team. As a result, the Tar Heels fell 28-12, meaning they will have to win out to make the postseason in Year

Alex Halloway- Getty Images The Tar Heels look to extend their win streak to three games on Saturday when they face the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in Winston-Salem. In order to do that, they will have to take down a squad that has been one of the biggest surprises in the ACC this season. Here’s a look at everything that you need to know about this very important game that starts a three game stretch where the team will face in-state foes to close out the season. Team Breakdown

Scott Kisner - Kisner Imagn Last night, in a sleepy Smith Center, Carolina routed North Carolina Central, 97-53, to improve to 4-0 on the young season, and in the process, secured their second 40-point win of the season. Carolina was paced by double-doubles from both Caleb Wilson (21 points & 13 rebounds) and Henri Veesaar (12 points & 11 rebounds), as UNC’s size overwhelmed the small school from the MEAC. It was a game that saw Carolina shoot 55% from the field, including 39

Bryan Bennett- Getty Images After being tied to the New York Giants job earlier in the week, Tar Heel head coach Bill Belichick has released a statement about the vacant job. “I have great respect and genuinely care for the New York Giants organization and both the Mara and Tisch families.

Tipton Edits It’s been a long time coming, but after a long wait, Hubert Davis has landed his first commitment in the 2026 recruiting class, in the form of Maximo Adams, a 6-7 forward from California. Adams committed to North Carolina over fellow blue blood Kentucky and Texas, giving Hubert Davis a significant win on the recruiting trail. According to 247Sports, Adams is ranked as the No. 11 player in the 2026 recruiting class and is the No. 5 player from the state of Califor

Avanca.com After securing a clunky win over Radford earlier this week, 89-74, the Tar Heels are back in action at home later tonight, against North Carolina Central. This will be the second game without Seth Trimble, who is sidelined for the next 6-7 weeks with a broken arm. His absence forced Luka Bogavac into the starting lineup, who led UNC in scoring and assists in the win over Radford, and appeared to find his offensive rhythm in the second half. With that in mind, Carol

@whooiisdavis- Instagram After losing some players in their 2026 class in the past two weeks, the Tar Heels completed another flip on Thursday morning. As first reported by Hayes Fawcett of Rivals, 2026 4✮ ATH David Davis has flipped his commitment from Penn State to UNC after taking a visit to Chapel Hill this past weekend for the team’s win over the Stanford Cardinal. Davis had been committed to the Nittany Lions since March but began looking elsewhere after the team’s firi

@natesalmon_- Twitter The Tar Heels are looking to add another tight end to their 2026 recruiting class and on Tuesday, one of those targets revealed that he will be taking an official visit to Chapel Hill later this month.

It flew under the radar a bit on Monday night, but the Tar Heels lost their second tight end commitment in the 2026 class in the last week on Monday night. As he announced via social media, 2026 3✮ TE Aidan Woods flipped his commitment from UNC to West Virginia. He had been committed to Bill Belichick and the Tar Heels since June 24th, but began looking elsewhere recently and took an official visit to Morgantown over the weekend for the team’s game with Colorado. With his dec

Scott Kisner - Imagn Images In their first game without senior guard Seth Trimble, Carolina earned a workman-like win over 89-74, in a game that featured way too many foul calls and way too many missed free throws. In his absence, Hubert Davis started Luka Bogavac, giving Carolina four starters at least 6-6 or taller. After another slow start shooting the basketball, Bogavac ended up leading the team in scoring, with 19 points, with 5 assists, and 3 rebounds. Bogavac was one

Inside Carolina Bill Belichick isn’t a name that you expect to hear come up in many coaching searches around the NFL, but there is one job in particular that has just come open that has led to speculation about the possibility of him leaving. After a 2-8 start to their season, the New York Giants made the decision to fire head coach Brian Daboll on Monday, meaning they will be searching for a head coach for the fifth time in the last ten years. The ownership group is hungry t

YardBarker After securing Hubert Davis’s most impressive non-conference win of his coaching career last Friday against Kansas, the Tar Heels return to action tonight at home against Radford, the third of five straight home games to start the 2025-26 season.

@UNCFootball- Instagram After going the first nine weeks of the 2025 season without a power conference win, the Tar Heels have picked up back-to-back wins in conference and a bowl game in sight for the first time since the beginning of the season. On Saturday, the team took down the Stanford Cardinal 20-15 thanks to another strong second half from Gio Lopez and the passing game and just enough from the defense that overall played very well throughout the day. Here’s a look at

@UNC_Basketball Last night, inside a raucous Dean Dome, the Tar Heels took down the Kansas Jayhawks, in a battle of college basketball heavyweights, giving Carolina their first win over KU since 2002, and giving Hubert Davis arguably his biggest non-conference win of his coaching career. It wasn’t always pretty for Carolina, who actually trailed Kansas 37-29 at the half, after turning it over 10 times, leading to 17 Kansas points, combined with just 3-15 shooting from the out
