In another recruiting coup for Bill Belichick's Tar Heels, four-star defensive lineman Trashawn Ruffin flipped his commitment from Texas A&M to North Carolina, Ruffin announced on social media on Monday.
Ruffin, from Mount Olive, N.C., is 247Sports's No. 195 prospect. He's ranked No. 238 in ESPN's Junior 300. Both outlets had him ranked as the 12th-ranked prospect from the state of North Carolina in the 2026 recruiting cycle.
