With 3-star DE Tyler Thompson committing to North Carolina on Wednesday, THI dives into our regular post-commitment feature where we take a look at where Mack Brown’s program really stands in the current Rivals rankings.

Thompson popping for the Tar Heels will place UNC’s team ranking for the class of 2022 at No. 39 up four spots from the No. 43 position before the decision. UNC’s average player ranking slightly went down from 5.69 to 5.68 and stayed the same at No. 23 in average ranking per commitment tied with Michigan and UCF. And keep in mind, this is a different formula than what is used elsewhere. We go strictly by the Rivals points rating system.
