The biggest hole on this 2025 Tar Heel roster still remains the defensive tackle spot and according to a report the team is working on fixing that as we speak.

According to Pete Nakos of On3 Sports, the Tar Heels hosted Florida transfer defensive tackle D’Antre Robinson for a visit on Friday in Chapel Hill. Robinson, who entered the transfer portal yesterday, will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Robinson, the former 4✮ prospect in the 2024 class, spent his true freshman season in Gainesville where he played 162 snaps on defense and seven snaps on special teams across eleven games. He finished the season with 17 total tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and two total quarterback hurries. Prior to that, he spent two years at Jones High School in Orlando, FL where he had 168 total tackles, 37.0 tackles for loss and 19.0 sacks.

Robinson would be a very welcome addition for the Tar Heels especially with how much he flashed as a freshman. This is the starting caliber defensive tackle the team has been looking for so hopefully they can find a way to lock down his commitment in the coming days.
