Theo Pinson’s career in Chapel Hill was highlighted by back-to-back national title appearances as a sophomore and junior, with a championship coming in 2017. He earned All-ACC honorable mention and was a driving force behind the 118 wins that the Tar Heels earned during his collegiate career.

But now, Pinson can add one more thing to his resume: college graduate.

Although temperatures were soaring on Sunday during graduation, Pinson and his fellow graduates showed up to Kenan Stadium en masse. The former champion took the opportunity to remind his fellow classmates of the title that Carolina won in 2017.

Up next for Pinson? A trip to the NBA Draft Combine.
