Maximo Adams announced his commitment to North Carolina on Friday.

"North Carolina basketball is something special," Adams said. "The best player in the history of basketball played here, along with many other greats. Being in the Dean Dome and seeing all those jerseys hanging up in the rafters, it's a place built on legacy, and that's something I admire a lot. I look forward to carving my own name here and carrying on the Carolina tradition."

Adams is currently ranked as the No. 26 players in the SC Next 100 for the 2026 class.

Adams is the first UNC commit for 2026.
