Welp... this is not the news Syracuse Orange fans were hoping to hear. Sophomore star Duce Chestnut, who was expected to replace Garrett Williams as the primary cornerback next season, will instead enter the transfer portal. Chestnut made the announcement on his social media last night.
Duce has been hinting at hitting the portal for a few days now, beginning right after Defensive Coordinator Tony White left to join the Nebraska coaching staff.
During his two seasons in Syracuse, Chestnut had 83 total tackles, four interceptions, including a pick-six, and nine pass breakups.
