However, according to a report from Adam Smith of 247Sports this week, the 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward from San Antonio, Texas, is set to rejoin the Tar Heels after re-enrolling at UNC in January.

A former four-star recruit out of Compass Prep (Ariz.), High joined Chapel Hill two years ago ranked No. 70 overall and No. 14 among power forwards in the 247Sports 2023 Composite rankings.
As of now, the projected frontcourt for the 2025-26 UNC basketball season under Hubert Davis’ fifth year as head coach includes sophomore Zayden High, along with junior transfers Jarin Stevenson and Henri Veesaar, returning sophomore James Brown, and five-star freshman Caleb Wilson.
