Four-star safety Jakob Weatherspoon flipped his commitment from Ohio State to coach Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The 5-foot-10, 175-pound Buckeye State prospect from Avon High School is ranked No. 14 at his position and No. 9 in Ohio by the 247Sports composite in the 2026 recruiting class.
Weatherspoon, who committed to Ohio State on Jan. 2 during its run to the national championship, took a visit to Chapel Hill in early June and changed his pledge on Wednesday.
He is the fifth four-star commitment in Belichick’s first recruiting class at UNC. The class ranks 17th nationally, per the 247Sports composite.
Belichick, 73, won six Super Bowls as head coach of the New England Patriots from 2000-23. His first game with the Tar Heels is at home against TCU on Sept. 1.
