Five-star PG Dylan Mingo visiting North Carolina this weekend

Dylan Mingo, a five-star point guard in the 2026 class, is taking an official visit to North Carolina this weekend, a source told Rivals.

This will be the seventh visit for the 6-foot-5 senior of Long Island Lutheran (NY) as he’s also been to UConn, Washington, Miami, Alabama, Penn State, and Baylor.

Mingo was set to visit NC State last weekend, but didn’t make his flight due to poor weather conditions.

In Rivals’ Updated 2026 Player Rankings, Mingo is the No. 2 overall player in the class. He’s also the No. 1 point guard and the No. 1 player in New York. 

Mingo on UNC

In a recent interview with Rivals’ Jamie Shaw, Mingo discussed the Tar Heels.

“Hubert Davis, he reaches out a lot. He pretty much just talks about how this year they should be really good, how they’re going to get things back on a UNC level. He tells me how he could see me coming in there playing as a freshman.”

Mingo also discussed what he is looking for in a college.

“I want to play for a coach that values me a lot,” Mingo said. Well, not even just the coach, the whole program. I want to have a strong relationship with the coaches, especially the head coach, and the whole coaching staff. And a winning program. I’d like to compete for a championship, and also a program that’s willing to play a freshman.”
