Providence Day (N.C.) four-star senior Jordan Shipp visited his UNC football suitors and their NC State rivals during his recruitment before committing to the Tar Heels over the Wolfpack and six other finalists in July.

Now, as of the kickoff to the early signing period on Wednesday, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound wide receiver is officially a future Tar Heel. At No. 230 overall on the 247Sports 2024 Composite, Shipp is the highest-ranked offensive prospect in the 27-deep recruiting class that head coach Mack Brown and his staff compiled.

Shortly after he signed, UNC football welcomed him to the family via the following posted videos on social media:

Jordan Shipp is a refined weapon for his age, as 247Sports' Gabe Brooks suggested in the following assessment of his skillset:

"Excellent short-to-intermediate target who knows how to leverage defenders into breaks and will work the middle of the field with disregard for his own safety. Consistent hands catcher with high-pointing acumen in timing and physical ability. Minds the boundaries at all times and frequently gets a toe down when difficult to do so.

"Creates space with his body in various situations, whether fomenting separation on comebacks or boxing out for red-zone shots. For the same reasons, presents a dangerous back-shoulder target. Sneaky good after the catch with slippery strength and some tackle-breaking ability."

The 2024 Tar Heel recruiting class comes in at No. 25 in the composite team ranking.
