Delaware has lost two players in the past week to transfer. Running back Will Knight, who transferred to UD from Old Dominion announced earlier today he intends on transferring, and according to a source, the destination is most likely already known, and Debo Williams, who had his freshman season wiped out due to Covid, announced his transfer to the University of South Carolina. Williams was a non-factor due to being a freshman, but losing Knight is a big deal for the Blue Hens. It's my understanding Knight will have two more years of eligibility after sitting out no matter where he transfers to unless applies for a waiver.
