UNC football may have to fight off Big 12 team for four-star commit

The North Carolina football program currently holds a 2-1 record following a bye week, though the group is attempting to recover from a previous defeat against Clemson. Looking ahead to the fifth week of the schedule, the squad is preparing to play against Notre Dame.

Meanwhile, off the field, the team faces an ongoing challenge to retain a member of its upcoming player intake. Four-star edge rusher Brayden Booth previously pledged to the institution in June of 2026 after taking an official trip to Chapel Hill, choosing the program over Baylor and Kansas State.

However, Baylor continues actively pursuing the Texas-native defender, with indications pointing toward a potential upcoming trip to Waco. Observers note that the prospect of playing closer to his hometown in San Antonio remains a key factor in keeping the competition active, though experts currently maintain a neutral stance regarding his ultimate destination.

Losing the standout defender would represent a significant blow to the program's developmental pipeline for that recruiting cycle.
