Zavion Griffin-Haynes brings long, twitchy edge upside to UNC
A 6-foot-6, 235-pound edge prospect, Zavion Griffin-Haynes is valued for his length, frame, and pass-rush ceiling, with recruiting services ranking him as high as a four-star and among the nation’s top 30 edge defenders in 2026. He fits the modern “get-off-and-attack” profile: disruptive on the edge, physically imposing, and still trending upward as a high-upside developmental piece for North Carolina. Why care? Because if he keeps sharpening his technique, he has the kind of measurables and explosive traits that can turn into real ACC problem-child material.
