Dereon Seabron (born May 26, 2000) is an American college basketball player for the NC State Wolfpack of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

High school career[]

Seabron played basketball for Lake Taylor High School in Norfolk, Virginia. As a sophomore, he helped his team reach the 4A state title game.[1] In his junior season, Seabron averaged 17.2 points and seven rebounds per game.[2] As a senior, he averaged 22.5 points and 11 rebounds per game, leading Lake Taylor to its first state championship. Seabron was named 4A Player of the Year and All-Tidewater Player of the Year.[3] He opted to play a postgraduate season at Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Virginia to gain more attention from college programs.[4] A four-star recruit, he committed to playing college basketball for NC State in April 2019 over offers from Georgia, Pittsburgh, Providence and VCU.[5]

College career[]

Seabron redshirted his first season at NC State after being ruled academically ineligible by the NCAA and losing the appeal.[6] In the regular season finale against Notre Dame, Seabron had his first double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds, and he earned ACC Freshman of the Week honors. As a freshman, he averaged 5.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.[7] On December 1, 2021, Seabron posted a career-high 39 points and 18 rebounds in a 104–100 win against Nebraska in quadruple overtime, breaking the ACC–Big Ten Challenge single-game scoring record.[8] He scored the most points in a game by an NC State player since T. J. Warren scored 42 points against Boston College on March 29, 2014.[9] As a sophomore, Seabron was named ACC Most Improved Player as well as Second Team All-ACC.[10]
