Former UNC basketball point guard Jeremiah Francis is heading to the transfer portal once again.
A former three-star point guard in North Carolina’s 2019 class, Francis is back in the portal for the second time as he looks for a new home starting next season. Francis played one season with North Carolina back in 2019-2020 but opted to transfer out. He landed at New Mexico where he played two seasons and is now in the portal.
Francis averaged 3.3 points and 1.6 assists for UNC in that one season, appearing in just 16 games as he recovered from a knee injury. The talented point guard out of Ohio battled injuries throughout his high school career, forcing him to miss the final two games.
