The UNC football program is among those with the top incoming backfield talent in the nation.

The Tar Heels have arguably accomplished more on the recruiting trail in Mack Brown’s first two years back in Chapel Hill than they did over the previous seven seasons combined under former head coach Larry Fedora.
