Summerville High School (S.C.) defensive end Yasir Smith joined the UNC football family this week with his revealed commitment and signature on Wednesday. His addition brings the number of confirmed Tar Heel signees to 27 in the 2025 recruiting cycle.

The 6-foot-4, 250-pound lineman from Montreal (Quebec) Vanier College had six offers and took three visits in his recruitment including Boise State and most recently Michigan State. But he received an offer from UNC on Sunday following his visit with the Spartans and that apparently sealed the deal as he never visited Chapel Hill.

The 2025 UNC recruiting collection currently stacks up at No. 55 in the country, according to On3, and No. 12 in the ACC. It includes one consensus four-star talent in former East Forsyth High School (N.C.) quarterback and early Tar Heel enrollee Bryce Baker.
