North Carolina continues to do their thing when it comes to recruiting the best of the best in the 2026 recruiting class, as they are second to none when it comes to the number of players that it has landed in the class and the number of blue-chip prospects that it will be bringing to the great city of Chapel Hill.

They have landed a plethora of different commitments from a plethora of different states as they have landed a total of 36 commitments at this time and they are pushing for even more commitments in the 2026 class although their primary focus has shifted all the way to the 2027 recruiting class as it should have arguably a long time ago after the success that they snagged earlier in the cycle.

One of their commits had the opportunity to play on live TV as he played not only a tough high school competition, but he also played on ESPN as part of their series that is advertised every single week. The player being discussed as Will Conroy and offensive alignment that plays on the interior offensive line for IMG Academy, which is a school that is based out of Bradenton, Florida, who made the move up to Alabama to take on one of the better teams in the state of Alabama as they played against Hoover high school in the state of Alabama.

This was a great game overall for quite some time; however, it stopped being competitive as IMG walked away with the wind. Although Hoover stuck around and made this game interesting at times, I am G is one of the better programs in the nation and one could argue that they are the best program in the nation.

They are a top-five ranking and they have the chance to go very far when it comes to this season as they are led through the storm by many different talented prospects, including Jayden Wade, who is the starting quarterback for them and one of the better quarterbacks in his recruiting class.

This is a great win for Conroy and his program as it is very known that Bill Belichick wants to recruit the guys that win even at the high school level as he has a successful background when it comes to winning these are the players that he wants on his team and he will continue to fight to bring players like this into his program, which is simply why he recruited so well in the 2026 recruiting class prior to even calling one snap at the North Carolina Tar Heels.
