Dunn (6-foot-5, 190 pounds) played his final two seasons of high school basketball at Westover High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, was the No. 4 player in North Carolina, the No. 20 shooting guard, and the No. 90 prospect in the Class of 2021, according to 247Sports composite rankings.
Dunn played in 50 games for North Carolina and averaged 2.7 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.2 assists per game. He was one of seven former North Carolina players to enter the transfer portal after going from the preseason number-one ranked team to missing the NCAA tournament entirely.
Dunn is a former four-star recruit that was a part of crowed backcourt at North Carolina and looks to receive a bigger role at Penn State, and new head coach Mike Rhoades believes that he will fit right in with the culture at Penn State as he spoke about Dunn to gopsusports.com.
“We’re super exited to have D’Marco join our basketball family. I have known D’Marco for a long time and I am really exited to now get to work with him. D’Marco fits our style of play and approach, and we can’t wait to get in the gym with him.”
