As Bill Belichick continues to build up his program at the University of North Carolina, the ex-Patriots head coach is looking to bring in a familiar name to Chapel Hill in the years ahead. “Blessed to receive my 2nd D1 offer from North Carolina!!,” Blount Jr. posted on Instagram.

There is continued curiosity regarding North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick’s recruiting strategy with the Tar Heels. Who he decides to offer, both through the portal and in high school, is usually dissected.

Since taking over as the head coach for the North Carolina Tar Heels earlier this offseason, Bill Belichick has been getting settled and making the program his own. From working to instill a culture to bringing in talented players to play for him, the former New England Patriots coach has done a good job of leading the Tar Heels into a new era.

The legendary New England head coach's early UNC football recruiting efforts now include LeGarrette Blount Jr.

North Carolina offered Legarrette Blount Jr., the son of former Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount, who won two Super Bowls with Belichick in New England. "Blessed to receive my 2nd D1 offer from North Carolina!!" Blount Jr. wrote on his X page on Wednesday.

LeGarrette Blount Jr. has received an offer from the Tar Heels, the class of 2028 prospect announced on social media. The son of the Patriots standout running back with the same name, Blount plays defensive back and wide receiver at Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona.

After having success with LeGarrette Blount at the NFL level, Bill Belichick is looking to recreate that magic with his son at the University of North Carolina.
