Recently, Rivals.com ranked him as the 69th best prospect in the country. He has verbally committed to North Carolina.
"T.J. Logan has had a remarkable high school career. He has won numerous awards and three state championships.

The performance in this year's state championship was probably the best I've ever seen. He has great vision and speed. He will be a very successful in whatever he does," stated Deana King, Publisher of NCPreps.com.
