The North Carolina Tar Heels are building some momentum on the recruiting trail as Michael Malone and his staff are working on the 2027 and 2028 classes. Last weekend, the program hosted two big visitors on campus as they looked to make a good impression.
Now, the good news keeps pouring in.
On Monday, five-star small forward AJ Williams made an update to his recruitment as he cut his list of 29 offers down to a final 10. That final 10 included North Carolina, as Malone and his staff take a big step forward in this recruitment. Joining North Carolina are Duke, Kentucky, Arkansas, Georgia, BYU, Auburn, Illinois, Georgia Tech, and Mississippi State.
The Georgia native plays at Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy and is one of the top prospects in the 2027 class. As you can see, his list features three Blue Bloods with UNC, Duke and Kentucky. It also includes rising programs, including Illinois and BYU.
The 6-foot-7, 220-pound Williams is ranked No. 5 nationally, the No. 2 small forward, and No. 1 player in the state of Georgia per the 247Sports recruiting class.
