— Kinston High School power forward Dontrez Styles has committed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Styles made the announcement on Saturday evening during a live video on his Instagram page, weeks after UNC offered him.

"I just wanted my family to be able to see me play, that was the biggest part. They’ve been here since day one, so why go somewhere else?" Styles said in his Instagram Live video. "It was a blessing. I’ve worked so hard for this, so it’s a blessing. The recruiting process, it was great, but at the end of the day, this was the best school for me and my family."

Standing at 6-feet-6 and 205 pounds, Styles is a four-star prospect and the No. 1 player in North Carolina from the Class of 2021, according to 247Sports.com. The recruiting website also lists him as the No. 15 power forward in his class nationally.

As a junior, Styles led Kinston in scoring with an averaged of 19.7 points per game. He averaged a double-double, posting 11 rebounds per game too.

UNC coach Roy Williams has spent a lot of time watching Styles in person. Styles said Williams thinks he will be able to make an impact with the Heels.

"He loves my game, he thinks I’ll be a great fit. It’s the best thing for me," Styles said.

Styles helped Kinston to a 26-4 overall record, a 12-0 conference mark, and a trip to the fourth round of the 2A state playoffs where the Vikings lost to eventual eastern regional champion Farmville Central.

His performance this season earned Styles a spot on the N.C. Basketball Coaches Association All-District and All-State Teams. He was also named to the HighSchoolOT All-East Boys Basketball Team.

Heavily recruited and highly sought after, Styles recorded offers from Clemson, DePaul, East Carolina, Georgetown, Maryland, NC State, North Carolina, Ole Miss, Pittsburgh, St. Johns, Texas A&M, USF, VCU, and Wake Forest.
