4-star CB Zion Ferguson commits to North Carolina

Gainesville (Ga.) four-star cornerback Zion Ferguson has committed to the North Carolina Tar Heels. He announced the news on Twitter.

A former LSU pledge, Ferguson decommitted from the Tigers on June 25.

The 6-foot-0, 165-pounder is the No. 327 overall prospect and No. 37 cornerback in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 38 player in Georgia.

Ferguson’s decision to decommit comes on the heels of him taking an official visit to North Carolina over the weekend. It was the lone official visit he scheduled for June.

“They’ve shown a lot of love lately,” Ferguson told On3’s Jeremy Johnson in May. “They’ve had contact with me daily. They have been talking to me and my parents. Coach Mack Brown, I like that he has a plan for me.”

“There’s a little family connection there. That’s definitely important. Family being at the game makes you want to play hard. After the game, being able to see family and going over to grandma’s house and they cooked for me and all. You can’t get that if you’re too far away. That’s something I’ve looked into.”

Zion Ferguson currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $58K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). 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.
