Top-25 class of 2026 forward Maximo Adams announced his commitment to the North Carolina Tar Heels, giving the program a major boost and signaling a new chapter for both player and school.
Adams, a 6′8 wing at Sierra Canyon High School, has drawn national attention for his two-way impact: he combines physicality, athleticism, length and a polished skill set for his age.
His recruitment recently narrowed to four schools — Kentucky, Michigan State, Texas and North Carolina — making his decision one of the more high-stakes battles of the cycle.
A physical 6′8 talent who can defend multiple positions, attack off the bounce and stretch the floor. Length, athleticism and competitive instincts that fit well into high-level schemes. A profile that aligns with modern big-wing expectations: enough size to defend inside, enough skill to score outside and enough versatility to adapt. A recruiting win for North Carolina — landing a top-25 2026 prospect helps build momentum and sets a tone for the class ahead.
