UNC Football program extends offer to another dual-sport in-state athlete

We've heard a lot about Kendre Harrison, a Class of 2026 star who has earned offers from both the UNC football and UNC basketball programs.

However, Harrison isn't the only multi-sport star that Reidsville High School has to offer.

Mack Brown and the UNC football program have extended an offer to Class of 2026 standout Dionte Neal. The offer from the Tar Heels marks the first Power 5 offer that the rising junior has received.

The 5-foot-9, 160-pounder is considered an athlete by the UNC football program, as he's played wide receiver and secondary over the last two seasons but will battle for the starting quarterback job this fall. Neal wasted no time making an impact on the varsity level, as his numbers as a freshman and sophomore are rather impressive.

On offense, Neal has recorded 90 receptions for 1,277 yards and 17 touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, he has recorded a staggering 15 interceptions and 18 pass breakups, as he's caused plenty of problems for teams that dare to throw the football his way.

While he's a rising prospect on the football field, Neal has also drawn plenty of attention on the basketball court as well. He currently holds multiple Division I offers from schools such as the College of Charleston, Hampton, High Point and North Carolina A&T, as more offers (in both sports) could be on the way in the near future.

The offer from the UNC football program is one that seems to really excite the in-state product, as the Tar Heels may just have an advantage in his recruitment as it starts to heat up a bit. It's safe to say that Mack Brown and his staff would love to see Neal and Harrison not only team up once again but remain in-state while competing for the UNC football program in a few years.
