Former North Carolina guard Seth Trimble has committed to Louisville, he told ESPN, giving the Cardinals another marquee piece for the 2026-27 season.

Trimble entered the transfer portal in the spring, and a Colorado district court ruling granted the class of 2022 a fifth season of eligibility, opening the door for him to play next season, though the NCAA has resisted a blanket waiver and the decision may require a U.S Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruling.

He averaged 14.0 points and 3.0 assists per game last season and totaled 971 career points in 126 games, while also playing five Las Vegas Summer League games for the Washington Wizards, averaging 10.8 points and 4.0 rebounds, and he has not signed an NBA contract, keeping his college eligibility open.

Assuming the ruling holds, Trimble joins a high‑wattage lineup that includes Flory Bidunga, Jackson Shelstad, Alvaro Folgueiras, and Karter Knox, and he projects as a top‑30 transfer, bolstering a Louisville team poised to be among the ACC’s top and ranked 12th in ESPN’s Way‑Too‑Early Top 25.
