ATH Ty Adams Flips to North Carolina

Ty Adams, a 2-star athlete from Swainsboro (GA) High School, has flipped his verbal commitment from East Carolina to play football at North Carolina on Sunday night.

Adams, who is 5-foot-11 and 173 pounds, took an official visit to UNC this weekend for the Notre Dame game. He also attended the Tar Heels’ home opener against Florida A&M.

He received an offer back in August from UNC cornerback coach Dre’ Bly and the relationship has grown since that point.

Adams plays quarterback and defensive back for his high school team, but is being recruited by the Tar Heels for the cornerback back position.

“The environment, facilities, and the fan base was amazing,” Adams told THI. “I could visualize myself playing in that stadium on Saturdays.”

Adams is the fifth player from the Peach State and the 19th member of UNC's class of 2023.

“Adams’ versatility and athleticism is very good as he does everything for his high school team. The coaching staff targeted him after missing on some other defensive back prospects. He is a very solid pickup for the Tar Heels despite the 2-star ranking. Plus it’s another kid from Georgia, a place where the Tar Heels want to recruit well.”
