The 6-foot-10, 230-pound power forward out of Pickerington, Ohio becomes the fourth commitment for the Tar Heels in the 2017 class.

On Sunday afternoon, Manley announced his college decision via Twitter.

Joining Manley in Chapel Hill next season are guards Jalek Felton and Andrew Platek as well as power forward Brandon Huffman. The Tar Heels 2017 recruiting class now ranks 14th nationally according to 247Sports.

UNC continues its search for big men in the 2017 class, hopeful that either P.J. Washington, Jarred Vanderbilt or Kevin Knox will commit to the Tar Heels.
