The North Carolina Tar Heels have a plethora of different recruits from different states, as they have landed many of the best players in the nation who were across their board. One of the commits in their class is one of the better QBs in the class, as he is the top quarterback in the state of Georgia.

Travis Burgess is one of the names that has started to surface as one of the biggest sleepers amongst the 2026 recruiting class as a whole, and he is one of the top names that people should know.

He went into detail to describe the injury.
