The Colorado football team appears to be losing one of its top young players on defense.
Late Friday night, freshman defensive lineman Israel Antwine posted a message on Twitter that he has decided to transfer.
"Huge thank you to the University Of Colorado and the amazing people that I met in Boulder," Antwine wrote, adding, "I can certainly say that my life has been enhanced by the experience. For family reasons I have decided to transfer to a University closer to home. I would really appreciate your support of my decision."
Antwine came to CU from Millwood High School in Oklahoma City.
