2024's No. 2 prospect Ian Jackson commits to North Carolina
Ian Jackson, the No. 2 prospect on the 2024 ESPN 60, will attend North Carolina, he announced Monday, according to ESPN's Jeff Borzello.
The five-star wing from New York reportedly chose the Tar Heels over Kentucky, Oregon, LSU, and Arkansas.
Jackson is the latest addition to a loaded 2024 recruiting class for North Carolina. The program now has four players ranked in the top 50 on ESPN's list, including 11th-ranked guard Elliot Cadeau.
The talented group is a welcome sight for the Tar Heels, with the program failing to pick up a five-star prospect in the 2021 and 2022 cycles. Five-star guard Simeon Wilcher is set to join the school for the 2023-24 season.
Jackson also marks the highest recruit secured by North Carolina since current-Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony in 2019.
