Tar Heel Family,

First and Foremost, I want to thank God for the many blessings he has granted me!

To Coach Brown and Coach Galloway, thank you for giving me the opportunity to play at this amazing University.  I am forever grateful.

To the coaching, athletic training, and academic staff, thank you for your endless support and dedication. Because of you, I am stronger both mentally and physically.

To my teammates, thank you for pushing me, challenging me, and inspiring me to be better each day. I love y’all and I will forever cherish the memories we shared.

To my family, your support is what drives me to want to become the best version of myself.  Thank you, I love y’all.

“Carolina isn’t just a place you go, it’s a place you take with you!”

With that being said, after much prayer and reflection, I have decided to enter the transfer portal. God, I have no idea where you are taking me, but I trust you!

Transfer portal background information

The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.

The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.

Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.

The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player’s individual entry includes basic details such as contact info, whether the player was on scholarship and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.

A player can ask that a “do not contact” tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don’t want to be contacted by schools unless they’ve initiated the communication.

He currently does not have an On3 NIL Valuation publicly listed. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
