Seventh Woods will transfer from North Carolina, the rising senior guard announced on his Instagram on Thursday afternoon.
In his post, Woods thanked his UNC coaches, teammates and everyone who helped him "overcome the struggles throughout (his) college career." Woods did not write of any possible transfer destinations in his announcement.
The four-star recruit from Columbia, South Carolina, played in 94 games over three seasons at UNC. He averaged a career-high 2.5 points and 2.1 assists per game as a junior, serving as the Tar Heels' backup point guard behind Coby White.
"I wouldn't go back and change any decision I've made but I do feel like it's time for a change," Woods wrote on Instagram, "with that being said I plan on finishing my academic and basketball career elsewhere."
As a first-year in 2017, Woods played in all 40 games for a North Carolina team that went 33-7 and won the national championship. As a sophomore, he was hampered by a stress fracture in his foot and played in just 20 games.
"My three years here at UNC has been nothing short of amazing," Woods said on Instagram. "Two regular season championships, a National Championship and group of brothers that I would cherish for life."

Heading into his junior season, Woods was a candidate for UNC's starting point guard position. He lost that spot to White, a first-year who is now a likely lottery pick in this summer's NBA Draft, and averaged 10.8 minutes per game off the bench.
