PSA Cardinals’ Dylan Mingo (2) shoots the ball during a game at Nike EYBL at the Memphis Sports & Events Center on Saturday, May 17, 2025.

Five-star guard Dylan Mingo announced his commitment to North Carolina's 2026 recruiting class Tuesday on ESPN's "First Take."

The 6-foot-5 Mingo, from Long Island's Lutheran High School, is No. 5 overall in the 247Sports composite rankings.

Mingo chose head coach Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels over Baylor and Penn State, where his older brother, Kayden Mingo, is a freshman.

He recently told 247 Sports that he has remained in contact with Tar Heels star Caleb Wilson since his campus visit.

"He was very welcoming on my visit," Mingo said. "It was fun to chill with him on my visit. He told me to come here if you want to go to the League, basically. When you do get there, take full accountability for what you are repping in North Carolina."

Mingo is the second top-25 prospect in North Carolina's 2026 class, joining 6-foot-7 forward Maximo Adams from Sierra Canyon in Chatsworth, Calif.
