It’s been a while since Mack Brown and the UNC Football program landed a recruit for their 2022 recruiting class. But that changed on Wednesday afternoon.

Brown and the Tar Heels staff received good news when four-star defensive end Beau Atkinson offered his verbal commitment to the program. He now becomes the fifth player to commit to North Carolina’s 2022 class and the first since Malaki Hamrick on February 21st.
