The North Carolina Tar Heels are making waves in the 2027 recruiting class, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as spring practices approach. Head coach Bill Belichick and his crew are pulling out all the stops, already securing three promising commits.
Leading the pack is four-star athlete Marquis Bryant, alongside three-star talents, safety Charles Roberts and athlete Skylar Robinson. But this is just the beginning of what could be a landmark class for North Carolina.
The buzz is building around four-star running back Isaiah Rogers, who recently revealed his top eight college choices, with the Tar Heels proudly in the mix. Rogers, hailing from Springfield, MA, is a standout in the 2027 recruiting cycle. According to 247Sports’ Composite, he's the No. 2 prospect in Massachusetts and the No. 7 running back nationally.
Rogers’ journey has been impressive. After a limited role in his first two years at Springfield Central High School, he emerged as the lead back in his junior year.
He racked up 986 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns, averaging 7.8 yards per carry. His knack for breaking the 100-yard mark in six games highlights his explosive playmaking ability.
Beyond his rushing prowess, Rogers showcased his versatility with 32 catches for 373 yards and three touchdowns, proving he's a dual-threat on the field. His skills in both the run and pass game make him a coveted "jack-of-all-trades" playmaker at the college level.
However, the Tar Heels face stiff competition from powerhouses like Notre Dame and Georgia, both known for churning out NFL-ready running backs and consistently competing for championships. The battle for Rogers is on, and it promises to be a thrilling ride for North Carolina fans.
