Good news: Tar Heels players have nominated a star player among their team players as their new head coach in the next two to three days.
The good news is that in the next two to three days, Tar Heels players will choose a standout player from their squad to serve as their next head coach.
Regular Tar Heel visitor Kendre’ Harrison is a UNC football offeree and the top tight end in the 2026 class. On the floor, though, he excels as a five-star forward for Reidsville High School (N.C.). He’s visited the UNC basketball program a couple of times and has left the door open to playing both sports in college.
The team’s late January 85-64 home victory over Wake Forest featured the 6-foot-7, 245-pound athletic phenomenon. Harrison made a return less than two weeks later, this time with a number of the other football targets for UNC’s 93-84 win over visiting rival Duke on February 3.
Then, on Saturday afternoon, he returned to the Dean E. Smith Center for the third time in six weeks, seated next to his family and immediately in front of his coach, UNC basketball great Phil Ford. With Harrison in the house, they saw the Tar Heels beat rival NC State 79-70 and go to 3-0 this season.
Kendre’ Harrison has so far reported offers from more than twenty football teams. His offer sheet for basketball isn’t as lengthy, but UNC and other schools would probably be more than delighted to consider him as a dual-sport superstar.
October saw Link Academy (Mo.) four-star center James Brown, the third UNC prize in head coach Hubert Davis’s fourth recruiting haul (No. 7 in the nation), and Powell pay Chapel Hill an official visit. That was a few weeks before, during the early signing period, they and Jackson signed their national letter of intent.
