North Carolina basketball star [autotag]Armando Bacot[/autotag] has added another highlight reel to his resume, but this one was done off the court.
Bacot has been a marketable machine, earning significant NIL deals throughout his UNC career. However, his image grew stronger after last season when it was announced that Bacot would make an acting debut on a TV series.
UNC fans witnessed that acting debut on the Netflix Original Outer Banks. Season three of the hit TV series was released early Thursday morning, and fans immediately went looking for Bacot.
I won’t spoil the show like the Tar Heels did Coach K., but you can see Bacot in episode eight.

Unsurprisingly, this had Twitter talking as fans discussed Bacot and his acting debut. Bacot has been a pivotal piece for North Carolina.
This season, Bacot is averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds. He also broke Tyler Hansbroughs’ record for most double-doubles in the program’s history.
Let’s look at how Twitter reacted.
