National Signing Day 2021: Live UNC Football tracker for 2022 class
By Zack Pearson
The early signing period is here and the UNC football program is set to make their best class under Mack Brown official.
Beginning on Wednesday, prospects can officially sign their letter of intent to programs and the Tar Heels are expected to have a busy day. While they aren’t in the running for any new commitments barring some shocking news, they will sign their 17-man class that is ranked No. 1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and No. 8 overall.
It’s a HUGE class for Brown and his staff and one that can really help change the program for the future.
As always, we are keeping track of the signings with our annual signing day tracker. Make sure to follow along below!
Class rank updates:
247 Sports: No. 8 nationally, No. 1 ACC
Rivals: No. 8 nationally, No. 1 ACC
