Editor's Note: This is a fluid list as more names will be added when those players agree to deals.

The NFL Draft concluded Saturday evening with just one North Carolina getting selected, and that was running back Omarion Hampton in the first round to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Yet, at least six other Tar Heels signed free agent deals not long after the draft ended, which gives them a chance to make teams even without being drafted.

Here is a running list of the Tar Heels that signed free agent deals Saturday night:

Note: Additions will be added once the news comes out.

Alijah Huzzie, CB – Houston Texans

*Prior to transferring to North Carolina, Alijah Huzzie was a two-time FCS All-American at East Tennessee State, tallying 179 tackles, 6.5 tackles-for-loss, and 12 interceptions across 34 games.

The Honorable Mention All-ACC selection in 2023 assumed the punt return duties for the Tar Heels, scoring two touchdowns on 19 tries, averaging 13.9 yards per return. Huzzie surrendered just 22 catches on 47 targets in 2024, finished with a PFF grade of 73.2, good for first in the UNC secondary.

Willie Lampkin, OL – Los Angeles Rams

*Lampkin was a first-team All-America last season and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which goes to the top offensive lineman in the ACC. He was first-team All-ACC as well. He was third-team All-ACC in 2023.

Lampkin was considered one of the top blockers in the draft, but his 5-foot-11, 290-pound frame is why NFL teams were hesitant about using a draft pick on him.

*Echols recorded 76 tackles across 12 games during the 2024 season, earning a PFF grade of 71.5 over 789 snaps. He concluded his career with 306 tackles, 13 tackles-for-loss, and 2.5 sacks in 52 career contests.

Echols reached the 100-tackle mark in both 2022 and 2023, earning Third-Team All-ACC honors in 2023. His 103 tackles in 2023, ranked seventh in the ACC and Echols was one of just seven players in the conference with over 100 tackles.
