North Carolina added Georgia Tech transfer Tyzhaun Claude on Wednesday, days after the forward received news that he was granted a waiver to play in the 2024-25 season.

The Tar Heels will be Claude's fourth different team. This season will expire Claude's eligibility.

Claude entered the transfer portal on April 1 but was awaiting word from the NCAA on a waiver. Georgetown also reportedly pursued Claude, who averaged 4.8 points and 5.2 rebounds in 32 games (four starts) for the Yellow Jackets in 2023-24.

Claude averages 9.3 points and 6.3 rebounds in 102 career games (51 starts) with Morehead State (2019-22), Western Carolina (2022-23) and Ga. Tech (2023-24). He missed the 2020-21 season with an ACL injury.
