Tyler Nickel, the nation’s No. 75 overall prospect in the class of 2022, has committed to North Carolina, he announced Wednesday.
The 6-foot-8, 210-pound small forward from East Rockingham (VA), chose North Carolina less than a week after taking his official visit to Chapel Hill from Sept. 10-12.
Nickel also took an official visit to Virginia Tech in early September with Butler, Iowa and LSU rounding out his top five.
He joins a loaded 2022 North Carolina recruiting class that features four-star center Jalen Washington, four-star guard Seth Trimble and three-star center Will Shaver.
