UNC Basketball Extends Offers to Four-Star Recruits Malachi Moreno and Braylon Mullins
The University of North Carolina (UNC) basketball program continues to build momentum in its 2025 recruiting class, extending offers to two highly-touted prospects, Malachi Moreno and Braylon Mullins.
On Monday afternoon, Moreno, a standout center from Georgetown, Kentucky, announced via social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that he had received a scholarship offer from the Tar Heels. This announcement came after months of interest shown by UNC in his recruitment. Moreno, who stands at 6-foot-11 and weighs 210 pounds, is rated as a four-star recruit. According to 247Sports, he is ranked No. 27 overall, the No. 3 center in the nation, and the top player in the state of Kentucky.
In addition to Moreno, UNC also offered a scholarship to shooting guard Braylon Mullins on the same day. These offers were part of a strategic push by the Tar Heels, who have been actively scouting and evaluating talent during the open recruiting period.
UNC head coach Hubert Davis and his staff have been diligent in their efforts to secure top talent for their program. Moreno is the 11th player to receive an offer from the Tar Heels in the 2025 recruiting cycle, as the team seeks to secure its first commitment from this group. The coaching staff is hopeful that these efforts will culminate in a strong recruiting class, bolstering the team’s future prospects.
Moreno’s recruitment is highly competitive, with offers from several prestigious programs, including Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, NC State, and Louisville, among others. His decision will be highly anticipated as he evaluates his options in the coming months.
As the recruitment process unfolds, UNC fans and college basketball enthusiasts alike will be watching closely to see how the Tar Heels’ 2025 recruiting class shapes up. With offers to top-tier talents like Moreno and Mullins, UNC aims to continue its tradition of excellence on the basketball court.
