Carson Sneed Flips Commitment to North Carolina

Carson Sneed, a four-star tight end from Donelson Christian Academy in Nashville and ranked among the nation’s top 20 at his position, has flipped his commitment from Tennessee to North Carolina after being committed to the Vols since August 2024. Sneed cited North Carolina’s NFL experience and recent on-field success as reasons for his decision, and will join his brother Dayton Sneed, who also transferred from Tennessee to UNC. His departure leaves Tennessee without a projected tight end in their 2026 recruiting class, prompting the Vols to extend new scholarship offers. Under new head coach Bill Belichick, UNC's 2026 class is gaining momentum, with Sneed considered a major offensive addition. This move is viewed as a significant recruiting win for North Carolina and a notable setback for Tennessee. Sneed’s skill set and family connection are expected to strengthen UNC’s roster.
