Just over a week ago, KC Concepcion, a wide receiver from NC State and the 2023 ACC Rookie of the Year, revealed his top six schools in his recruitment: Alabama, Colorado, Texas A&M, Florida State, South Carolina, and Miami.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound player entered the transfer portal on December 9 and has already visited Miami, Alabama, and Colorado, with Texas A&M being his current focus.
However, it appears that NC State’s rival, now represented by UNC football head coach Bill Belichick and his staff, is also showing interest in Concepcion.
According to a report from On3’s Pete Nakos on Friday, the 20-year-old’s team was contacted by the six-time Super Bowl champion and the program’s newly appointed general manager, Michael Lombardi, on Thursday night.
Nakos even mentioned that the Tar Heels “have entered Concepcion’s recruitment in a significant way.” Moreover, the sought-after talent is considering a visit to Chapel Hill to meet with Belichick and the Tar Heels soon after the recruiting dead period ends on New Year’s Day.
KC Concepcion, a former three-star recruit from Charlotte, N.C., would have the advantage of staying in his home state if he chooses to switch sides in the rivalry. Additionally, he would already have some familiarity with the area.
He also has a 2-0 record against the Tar Heels, including his final game with NC State, where the Wolfpack secured a 35-30 victory at Kenan Stadium on November 30, marking the end of Mack Brown’s tenure at UNC.
