North Carolina guard Seth Trimble has officially announced his return to the Tar Heels for his senior season in the 2025–26 campaign. This decision comes after a period of speculation regarding his future with the team.
Trimble, a 6-foot-3 guard from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, had a standout junior season, achieving career highs across multiple statistical categories. He averaged 11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 42.8% from the field and 26.6% from three-point range.
His return is particularly significant for the Tar Heels, who are experiencing considerable turnover in their backcourt. With the departure of RJ Davis due to graduation and the transfers of Ian Jackson and Elliot Cadeau, Trimble is set to play a pivotal role in providing leadership and stability.
Reflecting on his growth and development, Trimble has expressed gratitude for the mentorship he received from former teammate RJ Davis. He noted that following Davis’s example helped him become a more confident player and a better leader.
Trimble’s decision to return underscores his commitment to the Tar Heels and his desire to contribute to the team’s success in the upcoming season. His experience and leadership will be invaluable assets as North Carolina aims to build a competitive roster for the 2025–26 season.
