UNCW’s latest transfer portal addition might be the most important, as fifth-year point guard Xavier Brown is set to join the Seahawks for the 2026-27 season.
You’ll only need a few minutes to understand exactly why Brown is the perfect fit for this team, especially with a number of experienced leaders heading on to play pro basketball.
We discuss his path from the Tidewater area to college hoops, growing up as the son of a coach, being overlooked in the recruiting process and how he found a fit with former Seahawk Mark Byington at James Madison. We also dive into what he learned this season, suffering the first major injury of his basketball career and being forced to the sideline after the third game at South Florida.
It’s unfortunate we’ve only got a year with Xavier, because he’s destined to be an all-time favorite in Trask!
