North Carolina basketball offers a top shooting guard in 2026 class

Hubert Davis and the North Carolina Tar Heels are officially in the mix for five-star shooting guard Jordan Smith Jr. in the 2026 recruiting class.

The Tar Heels handed out a pair of offers to 2026 recruits on Sunday night with Smith Jr. and Caleb Holt both announcing they had received one from North Carolina. As Davis and his staff are identifying their targets for the 2026 class, they are now in pursuit of these talented recruits.

Smith Jr. is a 6-foot-3, 170-pound recruit who hails out of Fairfax, Virginia playing his high school basketball at Paul VI Catholic. He has a total of 15 offers in his recruitment with Duke, Arizona State, Florida State, Houston, Louisville, Michigan, Syracuse, and Villanova offering in addition to UNC.

The UNC offer comes just a day after rival Duke also offered the talented recruit.

The shooting guard is a five-star recruit who is ranked No. 8 nationally, the No. 2 shooting guard, and No. 1 player in the state of Virginia per the 247Sports recruiting rankings.

North Carolina now has five recruits offered in the 2026 class as Smith Jr. has offered Cole Cloer, Kendre Harrison, Tyran Stoks, and Holt.
