High-Potential Freshman LB with Elite Sack History and 3.6 GPA
Chinedu Onyeagoro is a 6'2", 220-lb freshman linebacker from Los Angeles who flipped from SMU to UNC as a 4-star recruit with a 3.6 GPA, signaling strong discipline and coachability. Though he didn't appear in games during the 2025 season, his high school dominance—posting 21 sacks (most in California) and 128 total tackles as a junior—reveals elite burst and finishing ability at the edge. His differentiator is the rare blend of physical intensity and academic focus, making him a low-risk, high-upside fit for teams valuing development and reliability. He’s a 'why care' prospect because his sack production suggests immediate impact potential once he earns the field.
