Minnesota QB/TE departs for transfer portal with one year of eligibility remaining
There will be one less player in Minnesota’s quarterback and tight end room for the 2021 season.
Seth Green, who has spent five seasons with the Golden Gophers, announced on Twitter that he plans to leave Minnesota and spend his final year of eligibility elsewhere. He had primarily been used in the offense’s Wildcat formation and in goal line situations throughout his career with the program.
“After many thoughts, prayers and trusted conversations, I have made the decision to enter the transfer portal and play my last season elsewhere,” Green said in a statement posted on Twitter. “I am saddened that this chapter of my life is coming to a close, yet am excited for what God has in store for my future! Ski-U-Mah, Go Gophers.”
