Jackson Keith visited the UNC basketball program a couple of times in the fall, including for the 2023-24 squad's Live Action festivities in October. And Tar Heel assistant coach Jeff Lebo popped by to check in on the 6-foot-6, 220-pound junior forward at his Southern Durham High School (N.C.).

An offer from UNC has yet to materialize. That said, it looks as though head coach Hubert Davis remains interested in Keith, as he attended Southern Durham's opening-round game at the John Wall Holiday Invitational in Raleigh on Wednesday morning, according to a report from On3's Jamie Shaw.

Shaw noted that NC State head coach Kevin Keatts was also on hand, not to mention assistants from Georgetown, LSU, and Notre Dame.

Keith, a four-star who ranks No. 75 overall and No. 3 among North Carolina preps on the 247Sports 2025 Composite, holds an offer from the Wolfpack and over a dozen other suitors.

Here's On3's latest scouting report on Jackson Keith:

"Jackson Keith is a confident wing...He can handle, get into his spots, and shoot with range. The jump shot can get a little flat at times, but he has good footwork in the mid-range. He is confident as a secondary initiator and can get a team into sets. Keith is a solid athlete, still growing into his frame. He is trending as a national level-type recruit."

The 2025 UNC basketball offer sheet, which has yet to yield a commitment, consists of nine names, all five-star prospects boasting a top-15 composite ranking.
