The 6-9 junior forward averaged 4.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game for the Tar Heels last season. He will have two years of eligibility remaining and likely will need to sit out the 2008-09 campaign.
There is a chance Stepheson could play this season if it is determined by the NCAA that the transfer is due to medical considerations. Stepheson said in a statement when leaving North Carolina in May that he wanted to be closer to his father, Art, who is battling heart-related issues.
