UNC forward Harrison Ingram declares for the NBA draft

North Carolina junior forward Harrison Ingram, the one-time Stanford transfer, has officially declared for the NBA Draft, he announced on social media Saturday afternoon.

"Throughout my life, playing in the NBA has always been a main dream of mine," Ingram said in his post on X.

Ingram averaged 12.2 points per game and 8.8 rebounds per game in his lone season with the Tar Heels, starting all but one game this season.

Ingram was a huge spark for the Tar Heels in their bounceback season, with some of the memorable moments including a 21-point 13-rebound performance at home against Duke in February as well as grabbing a season-high 19 rebounds on the road against NC State in January.

Ingram thanked God and his family lin his statement, taking time to highlight his time in Chapel Hill.

"To Coach Davis and the rest of the coaching staff, I want to thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to play and represent the University of North Carolina. You instilled in me a lot of confidence and allowed me to be great. To my teammates, you made this year special for me. I also want to thank the fans and all of Tar Heel Nation; the support was awesome. I'm proud to say I'm a Tar Heel for life!" Ingram said.
