Seth Trimble is the engine that fueled UNC basketball during its 2025-26 season. His NBA G League Combine performance is now also catching attention.

In today's college basketball world, it becomes increasingly rare for a student-athlete to stay at their school all four years. That's what makes Seth Trimble a rarity. The senior guard from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin briefly entered the transfer portal, but quickly withdrew himself and turned into a North Carolina legend.

Trimble posted his best season during the Tar Heels' 2025-26 campaign, averaging a career-high 14 points and 3. 8 rebounds per game, while delivering his "shot heard 'round the world" to beat Duke . Currently at the NBA G League Combine , Trimble is making his best case for an NBA roster, leading all participants in no-step vertical (38.

5 inches) and max vertical (43. 5 inches) measurements. Add in speed, Trimble is also one of the Combine's top performers, recording a 2.

81-second time (sixth) in the shuttle run and 3. 08-second mark in the 3/4 court sprint. Sure, Trimble is currently at the G League Combine, but best believe NBA scouts are taking notice.
