The cornerback was a free agent for about 24 hours after making the official announcement that he would move on from national champion Clemson and to North Carolina.
“Beyond blessed and grateful to be apart [sic] of such an amazing team last year at Clemson, however today I begin my next Chapter in life as I redirect my journey and travel to Chapel Hill, to the University of North Carolina and become a Tar Heel,” McMichael said in a statement.
During his high school career at Norcross (Ga.), McMichael was recruited by UNC, who gave him an offer, and he was in attendance for a game at their stadium before ultimately deciding to sign with Clemson.McMichael, originally a four star recruit, didn’t have much influence over the Tigers’ defense during their recent national championship run, playing on 101 snaps and recording two tackles in 12 appearances.
Going forward, McMichael will sit out the 2019 season and compete for a position with the Tar Heels next year as a redshirt sophomore.
247Sports ranked McMichael as the No. 8 cornerback and 56th best recruit overall.
