The UNC basketball and football recruiters were a finalist for Kendre Harrison, but their dual efforts came up empty.
Given the gridiron shakeup in Chapel Hill this week with Mack Brown's replacement remaining up in the air, any hope the Tar Heels still had in the Kendre Harrison sweepstakes was likely up to fourth-year UNC basketball head coach Hubert Davis & Co.'s pursuit of the five-star tight end doubling as a top-tier four-star forward on the hardwood.But on Saturday afternoon, Harrison announced his verbal commitment to Oregon.
He received a UNC football offer years ago and checked out the Tar Heels in person on countless occasions. Back in the summer, Harrison added a UNC basketball offer while on campus for camp with the football program. Plus, he included the Tar Heels among his six finalists, along with Oregon, Tennessee, Miami, Florida State, and Penn State.As for the 2026 UNC football radar, well, there's no coach in place. Until there is, all gridiron recruiting efforts are in limbo.Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of North Carolina Tar Heels on SI, Duke Blue Devils on SI, and NC State Wolfpack on SI, making him a key source for comprehensive coverage of these storied college basketball programs.
