There's few people you'll find who breathe UNC basketball more than Seth Trimble , who chose to play in Chapel Hill all four years of his collegiate basketball career.
Trimble, who began his time as a Tar Heel playing sparingly off the bench, progressively grew into a reliable starter. Trimble earned North Carolina's "captain" moniker during its 2025-26 campaign, delivering his signature moment with a near-buzzer beater to upset archrival Duke in February.
Hoping to continue his basketball career in the NBA, Trimble recently accepted an invitation to play in the Portsmouth (Va.) Invitational Tournament.
This tournament invites 64 senior college basketball players, from across the country, to compete in front of professional scouts. Over four days, eight teams of eight players will participate in a 12-game tournament.
This year's edition begins on Wednesday, April 15 at 6 p.m. and concludes on Saturday, April 18 after the 7 p.m. Championship match is played.
Trimble saved his best season for last, starting all 24 of his UNC appearances. Despite missing nine games due to injury, Trimble recorded career-bests with 14 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. Trimble scored in double-figures all but five contests, highlighted by a career-high 30 , during the Tar Heels ' 77-74 win against a ranked Louisville squad in February.
With a strong showing in the PIT, Trimble can sneak into the NBA Draft. Based on his breakout season and lockdown defense alone, the latter of which is rare in today's pro game, Trimble should have a roster spot on any NBA team.
If Trimble doesn't go to the NBA, he'll either play in the G League or start overseas somewhere. Wish North Carolina 's captain luck as he pursues his childhood dreams.
