The Tar Heels have already landed four commitments in the portal along the offensive line, but they might not be done just yet.
According to Pete Nakos of On3 Sports, the Tar Heels are in the midst of hosting Troy offensive line transfer Daniel King. He also told On3 Sports that as of right now he does not have any other visits scheduled, meaning that the Tar Heels are in a great spot to land him, although he did just enter the transfer portal on Wednesday. He will have one year of eligibility remaining if he chooses to return to college football after entering the draft earlier this month.
King spent the last three years at Troy as a full-time starter splitting his time between left tackle, right guard and right tackle. In 2022 after transferring from Georgia Military Institute, he played 890 snaps, spending the 860 of them at right guard. He graded out with a 62.8 run blocking grade, a 74.4 pass blocking grade and a 65.2 overall grade while allowing two sacks and 13 total quarterback pressures. In 2023, he played all but one of his 963 snaps at right guard and posted a 66.4 run block grade, 75.5 pass block grade and 69.4 overall grade, he allowed five sacks and 15 total quarterback pressures in 520 pass block snaps on his way to earning second All-Sun Belt honors. This season, he rebounded nicely while splitting his 789 snaps between right guard (360) and right tackle (429), posting a 76.5 run blocking grade, a 79.6 pass blocking grade and a 75.8 overall grade while allowing just one sack and 10 total quarterback pressures on his way to earning second team All-Sun Belt honors once again.
This would be another nice, experienced addition for the team along the offensive line and would give them another player who could compete for the starting job at either right guard or right tackle.
