Summary
North Carolina wide receiver Jordan Shipp received multiple inquiries from college football programs with lucrative NIL offers, but he turned them down to stay with the Tar Heels under new coach Bill Belichick. Shipp was a four-star prospect in the recruiting Class of 2024 and had a strong sophomore season, catching 60 passes for 671 yards and six touchdowns. Despite his success, UNC finished with a disappointing 4-8 record. Shipp’s decision to stay was reportedly not swayed by money, as he stated “it’s not about the money.”
