Hold up! Is that Bill Belichick…on the recruiting trail? Yep, the 72-year-old GOAT is proving he’s not just an NFL legend; he’s a recruiting machine too. When he took the UNC head coaching job, everyone wondered if he could handle the crazy world of college football recruiting. Could he ditch the NFL playbook for the CFB grind? Turns out, he can. Belichick’s been out there shaking hands, flashing smiles, and making some serious moves. Now, he’s zeroed in on a rising star from Corner Canyon High. This 3-star WR just etched his name in the history books with a record-breaking 99-yard touchdown. He’s got all the tools, and his performance has caught the eye of every major program.

And the rising star? Kai Meza. The 2026 3-star WR has stacked offers before, but they all came from G5 programs like Boise State, San Diego State, and Weber State. But this time, it’s different. For the first time, Meza has secured a Power 5 offer—and it’s from none other than Bill Belichick’s UNC. A game-changing moment. This wasn’t just another offer. It was the offer that brought his mother to tears. A dream turning into reality. And for Meza, this is only the beginning!

It may be just the beginning for 3-star WR Kai Meza, but his proud mother, Faith Byrd, couldn’t hold back her excitement. Taking to X, she shared her joy, writing: “Proud mom moment! My son @KaiMeza7 is ready to compete at the next level! 🚀 2026 WR | 6’1” | 185 lbs | 3.6 GPA | Corner Canyon HS. Looking to visit the East Coast & connect with coaches!” And her excitement? Completely justified. With his recent record-breaking performances and his first Power 5 offer, Meza is sure on the rise.

Kai Meza’s junior season was pure dominance. Playing for the 6A state champs and the top-ranked team in Utah, this WR put up insane numbers. 944 receiving yards, 46 catches, 13 touchdowns. Big plays, clutch moments, game-changers—Meza proved he’s a top-tier playmaker, and he’s just getting started.

But Bill Belichick’s UNC isn’t just locked in on 2026 talent. The legendary coach just scored a huge early win for the 2027 class—all the way out in California. Belichick is already making moves, proving he’s one step ahead on the recruiting trail. The Tar Heels’ future? It’s looking brighter than ever.

Bill Belichick’s WR hopeful for 2027

Bill Belichick just made another big move! On Saturday morning, the new UNC head coach locked in dynamic West Coast playmaker Skylar Robinson. The Junipero Serra standout took to X to confirm the news—he’s Chapel Hill bound. Soon, he’ll be suiting up for the legendary coach and the program on the rise.

Belichick and his staff went coast to coast to land their first 2027 prospect, and they got a good one. Skylar is already making waves in California, proving himself as a standout WR and DB. This 5’9″, 160-pound prospect has some serious football blood in his veins—he’s the younger brother of UNC wide receiver Jason Robinson, who just transferred to Chapel Hill this January. With two varsity seasons under his belt, he’s already a playmaker on both sides of the field. “I’ve witnessed them building something truly special, and for them to want me to be a part of that is an honor,” he said. And the stats back it up: according to MaxPreps, he’s averaging 13.2 yards per catch, has seven pass breakups, and even snagged an interception. This guy’s versatility is off the charts.

Now, he’s stepping into a league packed with future stars, and he’s ready to make his mark. While he might be the top prospect for the 2027 cycle, Belichick and Co. are already working overtime, locking down talent in the 2026 and 2025 classes. The UNC locker room is bound to look fierce!
