Immediately after pledging to UNC, Richardson reached out to his teammate Anthony Grant Jr, a 3-star class of 2018 running back about joining him in Carolina Blue.

"He (Bryson) has been bashing me, he told me that I will see what he is talking about, when I get there," the 5-11, 180 pounder told THI.

And just as soon as he got through that conversation, Grant was in the midst of planning his first visit to see North Carolina for himself.

This past weekend, Grant went on a mini ACC tour, in which he got to check out both Virginia Tech and North Carolina, and he vastly enjoyed the different amenities that each program has.

Now with a visit in the books, exactly how is Grant's relationship with North Carolina and what did he experience while in town?

"My relationship is great, I've been talking to coach Smith and he's great, i love him," he said. "I saw the weight room, locker room, and went in coach smith's office and toured campus, as well as going to the basketball arena and everything was great I loved it."

The versatile athlete is capable of doing a little bit of everything on the football field, and he reminds the staff of a former Tar Heel and current Arizona Cardinal back.

"They said I remind them of TJ Logan, a versatile back that can do anything out the backfield, and also line up at receiver," Grant said.

Coming out of this weekend, North Carolina is sitting in Grant’s top 3 along with Virginia Tech, and Tennessee. He is staring at making his college decision before the start of his senior year. Little holds 30 or more offers and is the 49th rated junior in the United States, according to Rivals.com.
