UNC Recruiting: Four-star 2022 RB George Pettaway commits to UNC

George Pettaway has committed to North Carolina.

He selected UNC over three other finalists: Florida, Oregon, and Penn State.

The 5’11”, 190-pound four-star running back out of Nansemond-Suffolk (VA) Academy is UNC’s 14th commitment from the class of 2022, and the second four-star running back following Omarion Hampton’s pledge in July. Pettaway was recruited by Tidewater legend Dre Bly.

Tar Heel fans are no doubt still sad over the departure of legendary backfield mates Michael Carter and Javonte Williams. With the addition of Pettaway to the UNC roster, the glory days of the Gruesome Twosome may be back before we know it!
