Very grateful for the opportunity I had playing at Yale as well as this past season at UMass. With that being said, I have decided to enter the transfer portal as a graduate student with 1 year left of eligibility.

I would like to thank MaristFB for the past 2 years, I am verbally entering the portal with 2 years of eligibility + a redshirt year as a rising true junior. I will be looking for a home starting in the spring semester! I will officially be in the portal on Jan 2nd!!
