UNC Football lands four-star linebacker

The North Carolina Tar Heels' football program continues to find success on the recruiting trail this Summer.

After landing a few recruits following a big official visit weekend, Bill Belichick and his staff are hoping the momentum keeps picking up. On Friday, they added another key piece to their recruiting class.

Four-star linebacker Theo Wilson verbally committed to North Carolina on Friday afternoon, ending his recruitment after a round of visits. Wilson visited UNC, Louisville, Virginia and most recently LSU before making his decision and picking the Tar Heels.
