North Carolina extended an offer to 2026 offensive lineman Eli Rickell on May 23, giving the 6-foot-5, 260-pound prospect his 12th overall. But, while it gave him another opportunity to compete at the Power Four level, it also marked a special moment for the Rickell family. His mother attended UNC, making the offer a celebrated moment in the Rickell household. As Rickell eyes a decision next month, he discussed the UNC offer, where the Tar Heels stand in his recruitment, and more.
