The best offensive tackle in the class of 2022 has decided he’ll be calling Chapel Hill home. Zach Rice, a five-star recruit out of Liberty Christian Academy, made his much-anticipated announcement on Thursday that he has committed to Mack Brown and the Tar Heels.
UNC already had favorable positioning in the recruiting ranks for 2022, but landing a big time guy like Rice gives them one of the better classes in the nation to this point. Rice decided to pick UNC over teams like Alabama, Notre Dame, Virginia, and Ohio State. The fact that Brown is able to compete with schools like that and still land his guy is really impressive.
