One of the most anticipated days of the college football offseason is here.

The 2015 Signing Day promises to be a pivotal one for a Tar Heel football program that’s been shaking things up in the coaching ranks this offseason.

With the hire of former Auburn national championship-winning coach Gene Chizik as defensive coordinator and the addition of former Nebraska defensive coordinator John Papuchis to the staff, Carolina appears more committed than ever to reaching UNC head coach Larry Fedora’s goal of playing for an ACC title.

And Wednesday will go a long way to deciding if that goal can truly become a reality with many of the nation’s top high school prospects making their final college choices.

So far, Scout.com has UNC ranked No. 24 in the recruiting rankings just behind South Carolina. The Tar Heels have locked up 20 commits, including eight four-star players.

UNC joins fellow ACC members Notre Dame, at No. 8, Florida State, at No. 10, and Clemson, at No. 13, in the top 25. But nothing is set in stone. Schools have been known to make late surges up the recruiting rankings with last-minute commitments.

A Tar Heel Signing Day celebration will be held at the Blue Zone Concourse Club beginning at 6 p.m. The program will be hosted by Jones Angell adn will include remarks from players and coaches. Tickets are $15. Check GoHeels.com for more information.

Tune into the WCHL Morning News on 97.9 FM Thursday morning for a complete report from the Carolina football 2015 signing class, including comments from Coach Fedora.
