Tar Heels Welcome Watts Back To Chapel Hill

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – A familiar face will return to the UNC women's basketball roster for the 2020-21 season as Stephanie Watts suits up in a Tar Heel uniform for her final season of collegiate eligibility.

Watts, a 5-11 guard and three-year starter for Carolina, completed her undergraduate degree at UNC in May of 2019. Because she redshirted the 2017-18 season due to injury, she had one year of eligibility remaining. She spent last year at Southern California as a graduate student, but saw her season ended by knee surgery after just four games. Now healthy and granted an additional year of eligibility by the NCAA, she'll be back in Carmichael Arena this fall.
