Blue-chip 2027 linebacker sets official to North Carolina

Bill Belichick and North Carolina will have a coveted prospect coming to visit Chapel Hill next month. With June being a big month for football recruiting, the program is set to have a number of prospects on campus for visits.

The latest is Florida linebacker Theo Wilson.

Per TarHeel247, Wilson will now be visiting North Carolina on an official for the weekend of June 5. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound junior had previously been scheduled to visit Missouri that weekend. He is rated as a four-star prospect by ESPN and Rivals and a three-star prospect by 247Sports.

Wilson also has official visits set for Virginia on May 29, Louisville on June 12, and LSU on June 19.

As a junior last season, Wilson recorded 96 tackles, including 34 for loss, 17 quarterback hurries, 13 sacks, three forced fumbles, two pass breakups and one interception.

North Carolina is looking to continue to build up their 2027 recruiting class. They have a total of five commitments so far but there is a long ways to go until the cycle officially ends.
