Vince Wilfork comparison helped flip 4-star DL Trashawn Ruffin to Bill Belichick, UNC

Posted Aug 29, 2025
One of UNC football coach Bill Belichick’s best recruiting pulls is from Duplin County in southeastern North Carolina. Belichick and his staff managed to get a flip from North Duplin High School four-star defensive tackle Trashawn Ruffin. He originally committed to Texas A&M. At 6-foot-3, 340 pounds with a 5.1 40-yard dash, Ruffin is a mountain of a prospect. (High School OT)
