The Tar Heels have been losing a lot of important targets to other schools over the past few days, but they picked up another important addition along the offensive line on Sunday to get the ball rolling in the portal once again.
As first reported by Steve Wiltfong of On3 Sports, Prairie View A&M transfer William Boone has signed with the Tar Heels following an official visit to campus earlier this week. Boone, who spent a portion of his career at the JUCO level, received an extra year of eligibility based on the ruling that came down earlier this offseason regarding junior college players.
Boone, who measures at 6’7, 340 lbs., spent this season with the Panthers and had an outstanding year across the board. He played 782 snaps while starting all 12 games for the team, receiving a 62.3 run block grade, a 78.0 pass block grade and a 69.0 overall grade from Pro Football Focus. In 425 pass protection reps, he didn’t allow a single sack and gave up only 11 total pressures. Prior to Prairie View A&M, Boone spent time at Kilgore College and New Mexico Military Institute.
His commitment gives the Tar Heels a fourth commitment from the portal along the offensive line as the team continues to build depth in a room. It also gives them another player who could push to start at one of the tackle spots with the team likely looking to move Trevyon Green inside to right guard like they did in the Fenway Bowl.
