Los Angeles Junipero Serra 2027 athlete Skylar Robinson has committed to North Carolina. He is the first prospect to join Bill Belichick’s 2027 recruiting class.

“The UNC coaching staff and GM Lombardi have been incredibly involved in my recruitment and it already feels like home to me,” Robinson told On3’s Steve Wiltfong. “I’ve witnessed them building something truly special and for them to want me to be a part of that is an honor.”

Skylar’s older brother, Jason Robinson, transferred to UNC on Jan. 11.

“Being coached by one of the greatest of all time and having the chance to play alongside my big brother has always been a dream of mine so the opportunity to do that means a lot to me.”

Although Robinson is the first commit in UNC’s 2027 class, the Tar Heels have gotten a good start on the 2026 cycle with signing day still over 10 months away.

Four prospects have committed to the Heels in the 2026 class: Junipero Serra cornerback Marcellous Ryan, Los Angeles Rancho Cucamonga CB Justin Lewis, Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day quarterback Zaid Lott and Concord (Calif.) De La Salle CB Jaden Jefferson.
