The next few weeks on the 2024 recruiting trail are about to be as action-packed as it gets with the majority of the team’s remaining targets set to announce their commitments. That will be interrupted for a short period of time on Tuesday evening when one of the team’s top targets in the 2025 class makes his decision.
2025 4✮ QB Bryce Baker revealed his plans to commit last night via social media and laid out the eight teams that he will be considering later this evening. The Tar Heels are joined by the three other in-state power conference schools, as well as Boston College, Maryland, Penn State and Virginia Tech.
Baker has started to surge up the recruiting rankings after a really strong camp season. People who attended the Elite 11 Atlanta regional camp raved about how complete of a quarterback he already is, possessing an accurate arm and great ability to make throws on the move. This follows a productive first season as a starter at Walkertown High School in Walkertown, NC before transferring to one of the Triads top schools, East Forsyth, this offseason.
The Tar Heels have to feel pretty good about their chances to be the pick tonight. Baker was reportedly very excited by what he saw from the staff, mainly Chip Lindsey, when he visited Chapel Hill earlier this month for one of the team’s prospect camps. The Tar Heels are the only team that is listed as “warm” for him right now on 247Sports, and the On3 Sports Recruiting Prediction Machine just flipped in favor of the Tar Heels this afternoon. It feels like Chip Lindsey and the staff have sealed the deal and secured the top quarterback in the state in the 2025 class.
