Seth Trimble Enters the Portal After Four Seasons at North Carolina

North Carolina guard Seth Trimble just made it official: he's hitting the transfer portal after four years with the Tar Heels. On3 reported the move Monday, and now the recruiting world gets to see where one of the ACC's more productive guards lands next.

What Trimble Did This Season

This past year, Trimble started all 24 games he played and put up 14.0 points per game to go with 3.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists. That's solid production, especially considering he missed the first nine games after breaking his arm in a pre-season workout. When he got healthy, he showed up and showed out for UNC.

Last season, he earned All-ACC Honorable Mention honors, which tells you the level he's been operating at in one of college basketball's toughest leagues. In 2024-25, he started 18 of 34 games and averaged 11.6 points with 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists.

Four Years of Steady Production

Over his entire four-season run in Chapel Hill, Trimble appeared in 126 games with 45 starts, averaging 7.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. The Wisconsin native wasn't flashy, but he was reliable and productive for a program with high expectations.

The Tar Heels went 24-9 last season but came up short when it mattered most. UNC lost to VCU 82-78 in overtime during the first round of the NCAA Tournament as a No. 6 seed, a gut-punch ending to what was otherwise a solid year.

What's Next

Now Trimble gets to choose his next destination. With his ball-handling, shooting, and ability to run a team's offense, there's going to be plenty of interest from programs looking to add experience and leadership at the guard position. The portal waits for no one, and Trimble's four years at UNC clearly didn't scratch the itch he had for what comes next.
