The North Carolina Tar Heels are among the best when it comes to recruiting, as they have done such a great job in the 2026 recruiting class after landing many different targets and have already landed the majority of what most schools will not land when it comes to the total amount of commitments in the 2026 class.

This development comes as they have landed 36 commits in the class when most schools won't even take, but maybe 25 if they're lucky, which goes to say how well Bill Belichick is doing when it comes to recruiting prospects at the high school level.

One of the prospects that they landed and had the chance to make a difference with in this class is Xavier Jackson, who is one of the better cornerbacks committed to them at this time if not the best cornerback committed to them at this time.

Jackson is in a unique state as he is in the state of New Jersey and currently plays at the best high school in New Jersey and as they keep part of their success as he attends Bergen Catholic High School.
