UNC basketball program offers four-star small forward A 2026 small forward has earned an offer from North Carolina
Hubert Davis and the North Carolina Tar Heels have a new target on their 2026 basketball recruiting board.
After showing interest in four-star small forward Qaydon Samuels, the Tar Heels have now officially entered the race for the talented prospect. On Sunday, North Carolina offered the four-star recruit out of Maryland.
Samuels is the latest player to earn an offer from North Carolina and they have been interested in the recruit for a bit now. UNC's interest and Samuels' recent play at the NBPA Top 100 Camp was a perfect storm for an offer to come this weekend ahead of the Summer months.
The 6-foot-5, 200-pound small forward plays at Bishop McNamara and is ranked No. 22 nationally, the No. 8 small forward, and the No. 1 player in the state of Maryland per the 247Sports recruiting rankings.
He has a total of 21 offers in his recruitment so far with Alabama, Illinois, Kansas, Tennessee, Texas, and Michigan as the programs who have offered so far in addition to North Carolina.
