North Carolina’s newcomers for the recruiting class of 2024 are now mostly on campus in Chapel Hill, as Sunday was move-in day for 21 players.

Spring semester classes begin Wednesday, so the early enrollees will have a few days to acclimate, and soon the offseason workout regimen will begin with the other returning Tar Heels that finished this past season 8-5 overall, 4-4 in the ACC, and lost the Duke’s Mayo Bowl to West Virginia.

Eleven of the early enrollees are offensive players, ten are defensive players. Twenty were in high school this past fall, and one was in junior college. One newcomer, Timothy Lawson, is injured and enrolled early to have better care in rehabbing to get healthy.

The breakdown by position: Defensive Back 6; Offensive Line 4; Wide Receiver 3; Defensive End 2; Tight End 2; Quarterback 1; Running Back 1; Linebacker 1; Defensive Line (interior) 0.

UNC signed 27 prospects on December 20, and the other six will enroll in June.
