Class of 2024 standout Keenan Jackson committed to North Carolina Thursday. The 6-foot-3, 185-pounder out of Weddington (NC) High School became the first wide receiver commit for Mack Brown and Lonnie Galloway.

Jackson picked the Tar Heels over Appalachian State, Duke, Maryland, NC State, and Virginia Tech.

Last season, he played at Cuthbertson High School where he had 50 receptions for 582 yards with 7 touchdowns. He is also a track and field standout.

Jackson was one of several official visitors that were in Chapel Hill on the weekend of June 24.

He is the twenty-first commitment in the class of 2024 for the Tar Heels and the fifth player from the state of North Carolina.

Deana's Take:

"The Tar Heels got their first wide receiver commit and it was definitely a big one. He is a very athletic kid that is a track star as well. The Union County area has produced some outstanding football talent including former Tar Heel standout Sam Howell."
