CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – A former Tar Heel student-athlete has joined the UNC women's basketball staff. Jaelynn Murray, a team captain as a graduate student in 2022, is Carolina's new Assistant Director of Video and Recruiting Operations.
"Bringing Jaelynn back to our women's basketball family is such a huge win for our program," UNC coach Courtney Banghart said. "She brings integrity, passion, and consistent positive energy, no matter the task or the day.
"She's been a great player, a great teammate, and a consistent winner in the locker room. Jae loves Carolina and will work tirelessly to help us continue to move this program forward."
Murray, who joined the staff this week, has spent the past year as an intern with UNC's Rams Club, working as part of the Communications team. Back in Carmichael, her newly-created role will support the Tar Heels' day-to-day recruiting efforts, as well as scouting and player video operations.
A forward from Columbia, S.C., Murray majored in Information Science, earning her undergraduate degree in May of 2021. She took a fifth season with the team while earning a master's degree in Educational Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship through the UNC School of Education.
"I'm so honored to join the staff and grateful to Coach Banghart for bringing me back to Carmichael," Murray said. "My time at the Rams Club was extremely valuable and I really enjoyed seeing another part of the Athletic Department, but my heart is with our women's basketball program. Being part of the staff is really a dream for me, and I'm excited to learn from everyone around me and to do my part as this program continues to climb."
Murray is the second former player on the staff, joining former teammate Liz Roberts, who currently serves as the team's General Manager.
