- UNC football QB commit upgraded to four star ahead of senior season
Just a few weeks ago, North Carolina secured a commitment from its first quarterback in the Class of 2026. Travis Burgess hails from Loganville, Georgia, where he plays at Grayson High School.
Burgess was a three-star quarterback at the time of his commitment, but he has since been on the rise. Now, according to Rivals.com , Burgess has entered the four-star category. They have him as the No. 27 best QB in the class and the No. 58 best player in the state.

247Sports still has Burgess as a three-star with a composite three-star as well, but it is only time before he gets a star there as well. He is on the upper end of the three-star recruits with an 89 overall rating and an .8844 composite rating.
Andrew Ivins from 247 Sports had this to say about Burgess's future:
"Ascending dual-threat quarterback with rare size and athleticism for the position that guided one of the Peach State's most talent-rich programs to a championship in his first year as a full-time starter. Built for the RPO game with his lower-body twitch and dynamic movements as a runner. Might not own the highest completion percentage, but a deep dive of the junior tape reveals an evolving passer that can change speeds and throw with anticipation to the second level."

Burgess now joins defensive lineman Trashawn Ruffin as the two lone four-star recruits in the class for Bill Belichick and North Carolina . They have 12 other three-star recruits, with five of them a 247Sports 88-rating or better.
