As a redshirt junior this fall, Marcus Applefield started 10 of the 12 games he played in for Rutgers. It was a breakthrough campaign for the 6-5, 308-pounder from Weeki, Wachee, Fla., who played in just 15 games combined over the previous two seasons.
Applefield would've had a good chance to start in 2018, but he is electing to go the grad-transfer route and play for another program next fall.
He announced his intentions in a Twitter post Wednesday night.
I would like to thank Rutgers University and the state of New Jersey for the past four years.
