Jordan Smith Jr., a 6-foot-3 guard from Fairfax, Virginia, took to social media to announce that he has received an offer from the Tar Heels. Smith Jr. is currently ranked as the No. 8 prospect in the Class of 2026 and is the top player from Virginia, according to 247Sports Composite.
His high school, Paul VI Catholic, has recently been a strong feeder program for Duke. Over the past few days, both Duke and UNC have made offers, placing themselves in competition for one of the top talents in the Class of 2026.
Smith Jr. will have numerous options, with schools like Louisville, Providence, Miami, Syracuse, Houston, and Michigan already showing significant interest. As time goes on, more teams are likely to enter the recruitment race, but it may ultimately come down to a showdown between the fierce rivals from Tobacco Road.
Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball program have now offered scholarships to five standout players in the Class of 2026, hoping that some will choose to make Chapel Hill their home and contribute to the program’s continued success for years to come.
