Armando Bacot will take advantage of a fifth year of eligibility and return to North Carolina next season, he told the media outlet Stadium on Wednesday.
Bacot completed his fourth season and became the Tar Heels’ all-time leader in rebounds and double-doubles. However, the NCAA granted a waiver for participants of the 2020-21 season that was ravaged by COVID-19 to receive an additional year if they chose.
“I’m using my last year of eligibility,” Bacot told Stadium. “I felt it was the right decision for my future.”
