3-star RB Jordan Louie commits to North Carolina

Lawrenceville (Ga.) Meadowcreek three-star running back Jordan Louie has announced his commitment to North Carolina. He chose the Tar Heels over West Virginia, who he decommitted from on Nov. 11.

Louie is the No. 582 overall prospect and No. 41 running back in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 54 player in Georgia.

On3 rates Louie higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Even though he is not ranked in the 2023 On300, Louie is the No. 31 running back and No. 46 player in Georgia.

The 6-foot-0, 205-pound tailback took two visits to Chapel Hill. His most recent trip was on the weekend of Dec. 10 for an official.

“My interest level in them is pretty high,” Louie told On3’s Jeremy Johnson on Oct. 5. “(Head) coach Mack Brown is a great guy. The thing I like about them is that they’re straightforward. They don’t sugarcoat. They don’t try to make you feel this or make you feel this. I like people that are going to be straightforward with you instead of trying to shoot me the bullcrap and then I get there and it be something totally different. I want you to be honest with me before all that happens.”

Louie has an On3 NIL Valuation of $15.7K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
