Pittsburgh has cleared Cameron Johnson to transfer to North Carolina, allowing him to play this upcoming season for the Tar Heels.

Johnson, who averaged 11.9 points last season and graduated in three years from Pittsburgh, told ESPN he has a 3.9 GPA.

Johnson, who also took visits in the spring to Kentucky, Arizona, Oregon and UCLA, said Tuesday he would head to Chapel Hill soon. He is optimistic he will be able to play for the Tar Heels -- who defeated Gonzaga on April 3 to win their sixth national championship in program history -- for the next two years.
