Forward Brady Manek announced his transfer from Oklahoma to North Carolina via Twitter on Friday.

The soon-to-be fifth-year senior will exercise an extra year of eligibility provided by COVID-19 to compete for UNC. Manek averaged 10.8 points and five rebounds per game during the 2020-21 season.

The 6-foot-9 Harrah native ranks 14th in program history in points and fifth in made 3-pointers. In his final game as a Sooner, he scored just three points in an NCAA Tournament second round loss to eventual runner-up Gonzaga.

Now Manek is the third OU player to find a new home as a transfer since former head coach Lon Kruger retired on March 25. In addition to Manek's departure, guard Trey Phipps will head to Oral Roberts while forward Victor Iwuakor is bound for UNLV.
