Friday was a big day for the UNC football program in terms of recruiting and their 2023 class. The day started off with a commitment from four-star edge rusher Jaybron Harvey and then a few hours later, three-star offensive lineman Robert Grigsby pledged his commitment.

And now on Friday night, four-star wide receiver Christian Hamilton became the latest to pledge his verbal commitment.

Hamilton officially committed to UNC with a special ceremony at Hickory Ridge High School. The wide receiver had 30 offers and picked the Tar Heels over Clemson, Penn State, and South Carolina. Hamilton visited UNC in late June, also visiting Texas A&M in the process.

The 6-foot, 175-pound wide receiver is ranked No. 210 overall, No.30 wide receiver and the No. 8 player in the state of North Carolina per the 247Sports composite rankings. 

His commitment gives UNC 12 in their 2023 class which now ranks No. 23 overall, shooting up more than 20 spots today.
