North Carolina's football program is actively recruiting for the 2027 cycle, with head coach Bill Belichick and general manager Michael Lombardi making strides. A significant development is four-star tight end Mason Oglesby naming the Tar Heels among his top six choices. Oglesby, a highly-touted prospect from New Palestine High School, also included Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Purdue, and USC. He is considered the No. 334 overall player nationally by Rivals and the No. 5 prospect from Indiana. Oglesby has expressed interest in UNC's tight end tradition and the opportunity to play for Belichick. He is set to visit Chapel Hill from April 17-19. Indiana currently leads Oglesby's recruitment, but UNC remains a contender.
The Tar Heels are striving to make an impact on Oglesby's decision-making process. His upcoming visit to Chapel Hill presents a crucial opportunity for the coaching staff to showcase the program's strengths. While Indiana holds a strong position, UNC's inclusion in his final six indicates a genuine interest. The team's success in developing productive tight ends could be a key factor. UNC will be looking to impress Oglesby during his spring visit, aiming to secure a commitment from the talented prospect.
