Last week, we talked about the fact that we expected more activity in the transfer portal once the Spring Game was done. We were waiting for who would be the first to open it up, and it turns out it was Don Chapman.
It also turns out that time is a circle.
First, the departures. Once Chapman left, it appears the continued exodus from the defense was on. On Thursday, Gabe Stephens decided it was time for him to move on and put his name into the portal. Stephens was a redshirt sophomore but didn’t have any appearances in his Carolina career.
