Bill Belichick and the University of North Carolina had some pretty significant news to announce this week. The legendary head coach has seen his time at North Carolina come with it’s fair share of drama. His 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson has seen the media turn against her and the relationship as a whole.
However, this news had to do with something on the field.
Bill Belichick – UNC Release Massive Announcement (Breaking)
The North Carolina Tar Heels are looking forward to having Bill Belichick as their new head coach. Despite going just 6-7 last season, many believe he can turn things around quickly:
Of course, after winning six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots, there’s no doubt he was successful at the NFL level. But college football produces a whole new set of challenges.
One of those is being able to recruit talented players out of high school, which Belichick has quickly shown a strong ability to do.
On Thursday, he and the Tar Heels made two huge additions, receiving commitments from a pair of brothers in the 2026 recruiting class, linebacker Jayden Griffin-Haynes and EDGE Zavion Griffin-Haynes.

Both additions are great news, especially Zavion, as On3 Industry Rankings places him as a four-star recruit, the No. 36 EDGE, the No. 19 player in North Carolina and the No. 338 player in the nation.
Jayden is ranked a bit lower, but nonetheless remains an impressive addition, as he’s a three-star recruit, the No. 79 linebacker, the No. 40 player in North Carolina and the No. 942 player in the nation.
Of course, if their main goal is to start their collegiate careers at the same school, they did have other options, as both received offers from the Texas A&M Aggies, Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles before they chose the Tar Heels.
The Griffin-Haynes brothers immediately give a huge boost to Belichick’s 2026 recruiting class, which now has a total of 17 commitments, ranking No. 6 in the ACC and No. 28 in the nation, per On3.
