Carolina’s lone home-grown senior will indeed be returning to Chapel Hill.

Guard Seth Trimble posted on Instagram with the UNC men’s basketball account Tuesday confirming he is planning to play a fourth season in Carolina blue.

Trimble posted the most productive season of his collegiate career as a junior. He finished with career highs in scoring (11.6 points per game), rebounding (5.0 rebounds per game), steals (1.4 per game), free-throw shooting (82.1 percent) and minutes played (28.6 per game). Trimble, who stands at 6-foot-3, led the Tar Heels in rebounding for a brief stretch during the season, but eventually was overtaken by Ven-Allen Lubin.

As UNC’s roster currently stands, Trimble would be one of three scholarship seniors on the team, though he is the only one who will have played all four of his seasons in Chapel Hill. Lubin, who played his first two seasons at Notre Dame and Vanderbilt before joining UNC as a junior, and Cade Tyson, who played his first two years at Belmont, are the others.

Trimble’s announcement comes as UNC has lost three players to the transfer portal: guards Elliot Cadeau and Ian Jackson along with forward Jalen Washington. Two outside players have committed to the Tar Heels out of the portal: West Virginia’s Jonathan Powell and Arizona’s Henri Veesaar. Trimble himself very nearly left UNC following the 2023-24 season, entering the transfer portal briefly before deciding to stay with the program.

Trimble’s UNC connections run deeper than just his seasons in Chapel Hill: he is the younger brother of former Tar Heel standout J.P. Tokoto, who played for head coach Roy Williams from 2012 through 2015.
