The UNC men’s basketball team revealed earlier this week that it has added sophomore guard Duwe Farris to the roster less than a month before the 2020-21 regular season begins.

Farris spent last season playing for the Tar Heels’ junior varsity team, and has a family full of former UNC athletes. His father ran track at UNC, while both his grandfather and great-grandfather were Tar Heel football players.

A native of Charlotte, Farris was a three-year at Myers Park High School. Current Myers Park Assistant Coach Nick Jones shared a message about Farris joining the UNC varsity men’s basketball program on Twitter.

As a senior in high school, Farris helped guide the team to a 22-9 record.
