Tar Heels lose another player to transfer portal
For the second straight day, the North Carolina Tar Heels’ football team has lost a player to the transfer portal.
The college football portal reopened on Saturday, and it has already been a very active. And now the Tar Heels have two players in the portal: Gabe Stephens joined Don Chapman.
The redshirt sophomore played the jack position in UNC’s defense and appeared in the spring game on Saturday. Stephens had reps with the second team during that game. He did not make any appearances last season. He redshirted in the 2021 season.
The former four-star recruit committed to UNC in February 2020 as part of the 2021 class.
North Carolina LB Gabe Stephens has entered the NCAA transfer portal, per @mzenitz.
Stephens was a four-star recruit in the 2021 class.
