Summary
- North Carolina Tar Heels secured a commitment from wide receiver Mason Humphrey.
- Humphrey arrives from Lehigh, adding a downfield threat to the offense.
- This move helps stabilize the roster after significant transfer portal departures.
The North Carolina Tar Heels have made a significant addition to their 2026 roster by securing the commitment of wide receiver Mason Humphrey from Lehigh. Humphrey, a soon-to-be senior, arrives as the 11th new addition for the upcoming season, bringing a valuable downfield threat to the Tar Heels' offense. His commitment comes at a critical time, helping to stabilize the team's roster following a large exodus of players via the transfer portal.
Humphrey's skillset offers a distinct advantage, capable of consistently beating cornerbacks on deep passes, an element the Tar Heels aimed to improve. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound receiver compiled 80 receptions for 1,237 yards and nine touchdowns over his last 26 starts. This acquisition becomes even more vital after a previously committed receiver flipped to another program.
With Humphrey joining other talented pass-catchers like Jordan Shipp and the incoming tight end transfer Jaxxon Warren, the Tar Heels are building a formidable skill-position group. The program's leadership is focused on systematically building a team designed for sustainable success and competitiveness at the highest level of college football.
