The North Carolina Tar Heels have made another addition to their incoming freshman class, as Kevin Thomas has officially signed with the program.
Thomas is a 6-foot-7 wing from Pennsylvania who played high school basketball at Sagemont Prep in Weston, Florida. He averaged 15.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.0 steals as a senior this past season, and over the course of his high school career, he helped lead Sagemont to three Class 1A State titles.

Thomas is a 4-star prospect who held a myriad of offers. He chose North Carolina over Florida State, LSU, Miami, Auburn, California, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Tennessee, Washington, Florida Atlantic, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Dayton, DePaul, and Seton Hall.
He joins Maximo Adams and Malloy Smith in this year’s recruiting class, which is the first under new head coach Michael Malone, who was hired earlier this offseason to replace Hubert Davis, who had led the Tar Heels for the previous five seasons.
