When Demon June received an offer to play football at North Carolina, the eventual decision on accepting wasn’t all that difficult.

He had an idea right away. So, Friday afternoon, the class of 2025 running back who attends Jacksonville (NC) High School made it public he has committed to play for the Tar Heels.

“Being a kid from North Carolina it just felt like home,” June told Tar Heel Illustrated this week. “I want to continue the great running back culture and be one of the best that have came through!”

June attended UNC’s Carolympics event late last month, an invite-only get-together among the program’s commits and top targets. It was that weekend he received the offer from the Tar Heels, his eighth overall.

He now has 15 offers, but Carolina is the only Power 4 school to extend to June, who is 5-foot-11 and 220 pounds. UNC was the offer he most wanted, however, and earned it. After that, it was largely a formality, especially given the program’s history of developing players.

“All the talent they have produced and helped make it to the next level,” June said. “I love the experience that the coaching staff has and I’m ready to come in and compete to get better every day.”

June is the 14th member of UNC’s class of 2025.
