Jeremiah Francis To Transfer From UNC
April 23, 2020 | Men's Basketball
CHAPEL HILL – Freshman guard Jeremiah Francis will transfer from the University of North Carolina.
Â
Francis played in 16 games and made three starts at the point in 2019-20. The Reynoldsburg, Ohio, native averaged 3.3 points and totaled 26 assists. He did not play in the first eight games due to a left knee injury he suffered in high school, before making his collegiate debut at Virginia on Dec. 8, 2019.
Â
He scored in double figures in three consecutive games in December (11 at Gonzaga, 12 vs. UCLA and 10 vs. Yale) before totaling 18 points over the final 20 games.
Â
"Jeremiah's a wonderful young man," says UNC head coach Roy Williams. "Our players and coaches enjoyed him being part of our program. I truly admired the work he put in to get back on the court after two full seasons of being injured in high school. We wish him the best wherever he chooses to resume his career."
Â
Francis did not play his junior and senior year of high school due to injuries.
