North Carolina sophomore guard Seth Trimble has been making waves this season not just with his lockdown defense and hustle plays, but also with a nickname that’s caught the attention of Tar Heel fans. According to head coach Hubert Davis, Trimble has started referring to himself as “Josh Hart,” drawing comparisons to the former Villanova star and current New York Knicks standout known for his relentless energy and versatility.
During a recent press conference, Davis explained why the comparison fits so well. “Seth loves the way Josh Hart plays the game,” Davis said. “It’s all about toughness, defense, rebounding, and doing all the little things that help a team win. That’s exactly what Seth has brought to us this year.”
Trimble has embraced a role off the bench that mirrors Hart’s style — a player who doesn’t need to dominate the ball to make a massive impact. Whether it’s guarding the opposing team’s best perimeter player or fighting for loose balls, Trimble has become a key piece for the Tar Heels, and his “Josh Hart” mindset has only fueled his growth.
For UNC, having someone play with that kind of edge could be crucial down the stretch.
