Kymistrii Young is a long, developmental Tar Heels WR with upside
In the 2026 season, Kymistrii Young enters North Carolina as a 6-foot-2, 192-pound freshman receiver with a solid recruiting profile and a 3-star pedigree, ranked around No. 1003 nationally and No. 156 among wideouts in his class.[2][7] The appeal is the frame: he has the size to play through contact and grow into a more physical role, plus the kind of upside UNC likes to bet on in a deep receiver room.[2][14] He is still a projection rather than a proven producer, so he fits best for teams willing to develop traits over immediate stat-sheet fireworks.[2][10]
