Former UNC guard Seventh Woods to transfer to South Carolina

After three years as part of the North Carolina men's basketball, former Tar Heel guard Seventh Woods will spend his final year of eligibility at South Carolina, he announced on Friday.

On April 25, Woods posted on Instagram that he intended to transfer from UNC, days after commitments from incoming first-year guards Cole Anthony and Anthony Harris. Then on Friday, Woods' Instagram story featured his new South Carolina student ID, along with the caption "USC '20."


In 2018-19, the Columbia, S.C. native averaged 2.5 points and 2.1 assists in 10.8 minutes per game as a junior, backing up Coby White at the point guard spot. 

Woods also played in all 40 games as a first-year for a Tar Heel team that won the national championship in 2017. A stress fracture in his foot limited Woods' playing time in his sophomore year.

A former 4-star recruit, Woods will join a South Carolina team that went 16-16 last season and failed to make the NCAA tournament.

"My three years here at UNC has been nothing short of amazing," Woods wrote in his original Instagram post on April 25. He continued: "I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and the best is yet to come!"
