Washington transfer LB Khmori House commits to North Carolina

Former Washington linebacker Khmori House will transfer to play for North Carolina this upcoming season, On3’s Pete Nakos reported. House played just one year with the Huskies and will bring three years of eligibility with him to Chapel Hill.

The 6-foot-2 linebacker made quite an impact as a true freshman to appear in all 12 games. He finished with 35 total tackles, one interception, four passes defended and one forced fumble.

Khmori House attended St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California, where he was unranked in the 2024 cycle. As a transfer, he ranks as the No. 138 overall player and No. 6 linebacker according to On3’s Transfer Portal Player Rankings.

North Carolina is entering a new era this upcoming season as it made a coaching change from Mack Brown to Bill Belichick. As such, plenty of turnover is expected on the Tar Heels roster through the transfer portal.

So far, they have seen 10 players exit the program while also bringing in 10 new faces to make up for those losses. That ranks them as the No. 47 team in On3’s Transfer Portal Team Rankings.

The portal officially opened on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers.

That means roughly 25 percent of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year, per On3’s Pete Nakos.
