Seth Louis Trimble (Born August 9, 2004) is an American college basketball player for the North Carolina Tar Heels of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
Trimble, a 6'3 guard from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, attended Menomonee Falls High School and as a senior averaged 27.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.3 steals. At the close of the season, he was named Wisconsin Mr. Basketball.[1] That summer, Trimble was a member of the United States U18 team which won the gold medal at the 2022 FIBA Under-18 Americas Championship.[2]
Trimble committed to North Carolina over Michigan, following in the footsteps of his older brother, JP Tokoto, who had played for the Tar Heels from 2012 to 2015.[3] He played sparingly for the Tar Heels as a freshman, averaging 1.8 points in 9.8 minutes per game. As a sophomore, Trimble became the Tar Heels' primary backcourt reserve, averaging 17.1 minutes and 5.2 points per game while shining defensively. At the close of the season, Trimble finished third in ACC Sixth Man of the Year award voting.[4]
Following his sophomore season, Trimble opted to enter the transfer portal.[5] However, he later changed his mind and decided to return to UNC for his junior year.[6]
Trimble is the grandson of former Cameroonian soccer player Jean-Pierre Tokoto.[7]
