UNC Football Recruiting: Noah Rogers names Top 5

In UNC football recruiting news, the Tar Heels are still very much in the mix for four-star wide receiver prospect Noah Rogers. 

Four-star Class of 2023 wide receiver prospect Noah Rogers, is the top-rated player from the state of North Carolina, according to 247 Sports Composite.

Of course, the UNC football recruiting team has been in on Rogers, as they hope to keep the Rolesville, North Carolina native in his home state. Fortunately for the Tar Heels, they are still in the mix to land the talented wide receiver prospect.

Rogers has named his top 5 finalists in his recruitment, and the UNC football program is among the schools that he’s still considering. The Tar Heels are joined by Clemson, Florida State, NC State, and Ohio State as Rogers’ finalists.

Mack Brown and the Tar Heels have been in on Rogers for quite some time. The program first extended an offer to the Roseville High School standout back on March 24, 2021, and he’s made a pair of unofficial visits since. With the Tar Heels being a finalist, it should be expected that he’ll be taking an official visit to Chapel Hill prior to his final decision.

If you haven’t heard much about Rogers, he’s a guy that you certainly want to keep an eye on. Here’s what 247 Sports National Recruiting Analyst Brian Dohn had to say about the four-star wide receiver:

"Verified size with verified sub 4.5 speed and plus length. Also competes in track. Productive big-play receiver averaged 20.5 yards and had 22 touchdowns on 70 catches. Smooth route runner. Gets off line and into routes well. Gets out of breaks and accelerates to gain separation. Adjusts well to off-target throws and shows excellent ball skills. His sure-handed and willing to make plays in traffic. Exhibits body control and makes acrobatic catches look easy. Knows how to use size to shield defensive back. High-points ball well and excels on 50-50 balls. Shows ability to pierce defense and make big play after catch. Demonstrates some elusiveness after the catch but is at best when securing catch and getting up field. Consistently gets behind defense despite facing very little press coverage. Knows how to sit in holes against zone. Willing blocker. Has strength throughout frame but will need to continue to develop strength. Fine-tuning route running and being a bit sharper into breaks will help. High level receiver at Top 10 college program. Early round NFL draft potential."

Could Noah Rogers be the next elite wide receiver to make his way to Chapel Hill? We’ll just have to wait and see.
