A UNC commit will have the chance to prove he’s among the best in the country
Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels have been hot on the recruiting trail, landing prospects for future classes. And one of their most recent commitments is seeing his stock rise as the months go on.
High three-star quarterback Travis Burgess committed to North Carolina over Auburn and NC State in May, choosing to join Belichick and the Tar Heels. As his recruitment has gone on, Burgess has improved and he’s now on his way to one of the top quarterback competitions in the country.
Burgess was one of 20 quarterbacks named a finalist for the Elite 11, a competition in Los Angeles that pits the top quarterback recruits in the country against each other. At the end an MVP will be award as well the top 10 finalists.
As a junior, Burgess completed 60 percent of his passes for 2,225 yards and 23 touchdowns. He had just four interceptions on the year. He showed off his mobility as well, rushing for 596 yards.
The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Burgess is ranked as the No. 27 quarterback and No. 44 player in the state of Georgia per the 247Sports recruiting rankings. Of the 15 commitments for UNC’s 2026 class, Burgess is the second-highest ranked recruit for the Tar Heels.
