North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams is starting to attempt to put his 2021 class in place and recently made an offer to a rising in-state prospect.

Westover High School guard D’Marco Dunn posted on Twitter Sunday that he received an official offer from UNC.

Dunn (6-4, 180) is the No. 5 player in North Carolina in the class of 2021 according to 247Sports. Dunn also holds offers from Vanderbilt, Maryland, Clemson, Texas and VCU among others.

Last year the Wolverines went 30-0, advancing to the 3A finals before COVID-19 shut down sports for the season. As a junior, he averaged 20.4 points per game, 7.2 rebounds and 2.7 steals. He shot 45 percent from the three-point line and led the team in rebounds.

The four-star recruit has received two ACC offers in the last week, picking up one from Clemson and now the Tar Heels. Williams has one 2021 commitment so far. Kinston’s Dontrez Styles committed to North Carolina on April 18. Currently, Carolina’s one-man class is ranked No. 5 in the ACC.
