Seth Trimble revealed his intention to continue his college career at the University of Louisville after a Colorado court granted him an additional year of eligibility, a decision that stems from the NCAA’s July 31 injunction that extended the 2022‑23 eligibility window for athletes of that class.
During his senior season at North Carolina, Trimble posted averages of 14.0 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, earning All‑ACC Honorable Mention recognition and delivering memorable moments such as a buzzer‑beating three‑pointer and a 30‑point outburst against the Cardinals.
In a heartfelt statement, Trimble said he would always represent the university and its fans, emphasizing the deep loyalty he feels toward UNC despite the upcoming move.
UNC head coach Michael Malone and assistant Steve Newmark lauded Trimble’s contributions, describing his leadership as a cornerstone of the program over four years and noting the bittersweet nature of his departure.
A Legacy of Loyalty
The Tar Heels will bolster their roster with transfers Terrence Brown and Matt Able from the portal, while retaining Isaiah Denis and Jaydon Young for the upcoming campaign, a strategy that aims to preserve continuity after Trimble’s exit.
The ruling that granted Trimble an extra season reflects a broader shift in NCAA eligibility policy, signaling that student‑athletes from the Class of 2022 may now benefit from extended athletic windows, a development that could reshape roster planning across the country.
