UNC Guard Seth Trimble Enters Transfer Portal

UNC loses another player.

North Carolina sophomore guard Seth Trimble has entered the transfer portal. He had seen an increased role this season and was a major contributor off the bench. Now, Trimble will look for opportunity elsewhere.

Tough Loss

Trimble was a legacy recruit. His brother, JP Tokoto, played with the Tar Heels in the mid-2010’s. This season, Trimble saw more minutes than his freshman year, and was often a major energy boost. Throughout the season, he was one of North Carolina’s best defenders, often tasked with guarding the opponent’s best guard. Although his volume was low, Trimble also became a solid shooter, knocking down threes for UNC. His athleticism, defense, and court presence will be missed. On the season, Trimble averaged 5.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game. A Wisconsin native, the Badgers could be a team to watch here as they recently lost guard AJ Storr.

Impact on Next Season

North Carolina now has room to grab a transfer. Backcourt minutes are available, as Elliot Cadeau is expected to be the point guard next year, RJ Davis could come back for a fifth and final season, and freshman Ian Jackson is expected to be a contributor. This leaves room for a transfer to come in and play big minutes.

Trimble will thrive wherever he decides to go.
