Good news continues to develop for North Carolina men’s basketball as Jae’Lyn Withers officially confirmed his return to Chapel Hill next year on Thursday afternoon. The former Louisville Cardinal, who transferred into UNC this time last year, will use his additional year of eligibility in 2024-25 for the Tar Heels.
This wasn't necessarily a shocking announcement because Withers lacked NBA attention. That said, Withers had a handful of options after his one year in Carolina blue, and there was no indication of his future plans for over a month after the NCAA Tournament. All questions were answered when he reassured his commitment to Hubert Davis and North Carolina when Jon Rothstein broke the news earlier this week.
