Herbert Scroggins III is a 6-foot-3, 230-pound 4-star class of 2025 outside linebacker and edge rusher of Benedictine Military School in Savannah, GA, was recently offered by North Carolina.

But Kentucky and West Virginia followed shortly later, and Scroggins’ name began to absolutely erupt between Jan. 22-25, when he got offers from UCF, Georgia Tech, Southern Cal, Miami, and Texas A&M, among others.

UNC linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen and the Tar Heels waited until Jan. 30 to offer, and the timing of the offer and UNC’s thorough approach could pay off in the future, as the Tar Heels stand high on Scroggins’ list of top schools, he said.
