The UNC Tar Heels football program secured a major recruiting coup with the verbal commitment of four-star edge rusher Brayden Booth. Booth, a 6-foot-5, 220-pound senior from South San Antonio, chose North Carolina over 21 other offers, including Texas, TCU, Arizona, and Ole Miss, after visiting the campus this weekend. He previously toured Kansas State and Baylor earlier in the recruiting process. Booth is ranked No. 209 nationally, No. 20 at the edge rusher position, and No. 25 among Texas prospects, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. His commitment strengthens UNC’s 2027 recruiting class, which now totals 13 players despite currently ranking just outside the top 50 nationally. The Tar Heels have been active in recruiting this cycle, and Booth’s decision adds another high-level prospect to their roster. His arrival could bolster UNC’s defensive line depth ahead of the 2027 season, where he is expected to compete for playing time. Booth’s decision came after careful consideration, as he weighed offers from elite programs across the country. His commitment underscores North Carolina’s ability to attract top-tier talent in a competitive recruiting landscape.
