3-Star CB Malcolm Ziglar Commits to North Carolina

Class of 2024 cornerback Malcom Ziglar committed to play football at North Carolina Monday. The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder from Fuquay-Varina (NC) High School is ranked as the No. 13 player in the Tar Heel State and No. 48 at his position nationally.

He selected the Tar Heels over South Carolina and Notre Dame. Some of his other offers were from Appalachian State, Clemson, East Carolina, Kentucky and Penn State. Ziglar took an official visit to Chapel Hill on the nig recruiting weekend of June 24 and also visited South Carolina and Notre Dame.

With Ziglar popping for the Tar Heels gives UNC Coach Mack Brown and staff 24 commitments for the class of 2024. He will be the seventh player from North Carolina to join the class with Desmond Jackson, Khalil Conley, Jani Norwood, Curtis Simpson, Keenan Jackson, and Jordan Shipp.

"By getting Malcolm Ziglar's commitment, the Tar Heel coaching staff kept a very good national prospect home. It was a key victory for them especially over regional recruiting rival South Carolina. Ziglar is a tall, lanky corner that can make big plays in the secondary. It's always great to for the staff to land a highly ranked in-state kid basically in their backyard."
