Two-Sport Five-Star Asks if UNC Football Is His Home
For the second straight week and third time this season, Reidsville (N.C.) five-star tight end and power forward Kendre' Harrison attended a UNC football game.
Of course, they've all been UNC victories, as the Tar Heels have enjoyed a 6-0 statement of a start to their 2023 campaign, rising to No. 10 in the AP Top 25 this week following Saturday night's 41-31 win over then-No. 25 Miami in Kenan Memorial Stadium.
The 6-foot-7, 245-pound Harrison, who ranks No. 8 overall and No. 1 among tight ends on the 247Sports 2026 Composite while sitting at No. 19 overall on the 2026 ESPN 25 as a basketball prospect, has also been in Chapel Hill for an unofficial visit in April. Moreover, he was at UNC football camp in July.
On Friday night, Kendre' Harrison recorded five catches for 102 yards and three touchdowns in Reidsville's home win over Walkertown. His performance included the following in-stride grab and next-level rumble through several overmatched defenders to the house:
And on Sunday, the day after watching UNC defeat Miami for the fifth time in as many tries across head coach Mack Brown's second stint with the Tar Heels, Harrison posted a picture of himself at the game standing next to a kid with a "WE WANT KENDRE" poster, captioning it with a question: "Crib🏠??#GDTBATH [Great Day To Be A Tar Heel]."
Kendre' Harrison might be over a year from calling any college his future home. But the state's No. 1 football recruit in the 2026 cycle seems to have decided on UNC football outings as a top fall vacation destination.
