North Carolina point guard Seth Trimble announced his return to the Tar Heels for the 2025-26 season. This came after speculation regarding this future.

In 34 games last season, Trimble put up 11.6 points per game, five rebounds per game, 1.3 assists per game, shot 42.8% from the floor and 26.6% from three-point range. Those were career highs across the board.

As a member of the Class of 2022, Trimble was a four-star recruit out of Menomonee Falls (Wisc.) High, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 1 overall prospect in the state, the No. 5 point guard in the class and the No. 41 overall prospect in the class.

Trimble will now try and run it back with the Tar Heels after UNC was bounced from the first round of the NCAA Tournament. He said he grew as a player, learning from RJ Davis.

“I’ve learned so much from RJ,” Seth Trimble said. “The second I stepped on campus, he was there. I asked him, ‘Hey, can we workout in the summer?’ I mean, basically, I asked, ‘Can I follow you? Can I do everything that you do?’

“I’m fortunate enough for him to accept me at such an early time and just share with me all the knowledge he’s shared over the years. I mean, I’ve learned how to be a better leader. I’ve learned how to be a more confident basketball player. I’ve learned a whole lot from RJ. Real fortunate for it.”

Next season will be the fourth for Seth Trimble in college. He’s now a veteran and has the opportunity to step into a similar leadership role, mentoring the next wave of young Tar Heels players.

He’ll also have a chance to prove people wrong too. North Carolina felt a lot of hate after getting an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.

“Absolutely. Absolutely,” Trimble said. “I think we’ve all kind of felt the hate, the disagreement, all that, from everybody outside of the Carolina family and fan base … We’re just running with it. We definitely feel like we’ve got something to prove. We wanted to be better this year, but we deal with the cards at hand. So, absolutely.”
