Former North Carolina guard Jessica Washington is transferring to Kansas, according to ESPN.

The university announced Washington’s intention to transfer earlier this year, after the conclusion of Washington’s sophomore year with the Tar Heels.

Washington averaged more than seven points and two rebounds in more than 18 minutes per game last season.

Washington was a McDonald’s All-American and part of the number one ranked recruiting class in 2013. All four of the members of that Tar Heel class have now transferred from UNC.

Star Diamond DeShields transferred to Tennessee after leading UNC to an NCAA regional final as a freshman. In June, UNC leading scorer Allisha Gray transferred to South Carolina, while the last member of the class — center Stephanie Mavunga — is also pursuing a transfer but hasn’t decided on where.

Gray and Mavunga sought a release after the NCAA hit UNC with five charges connected to its long-running academic fraud scandal, including one focused on the conduct of a women’s basketball adviser.
