Mallory Heyer Abruptly Leaves Gophers 2 Weeks Before Season Starts
Heyer, who led the team with 8.1 rebounds last season, leaves Minnesota citing personal reasons and will enter the NCAA transfer portal as a graduate transfer.
- On Wednesday, Mallory Heyer, Gophers senior forward, announced she will enter the NCAA transfer portal and leave before the Nov. 4 season opener.
- Posting on X, Heyer wrote she is leaving for `personal reasons` and thanked Minnesota for the past 3 years.
- A three-year starter, Heyer started every game last season, recorded seven double-doubles, and played more than 34 minutes per game.
- Dawn Plitzuweit, Gophers coach, will lean on Taylor Woodson, Grace Grocholski, Niamya Holloway and Sophie Hart as the team loses a multi-year starter before Nov. 4.
- The timing is abrupt and odd, and from a numbers standpoint over three seasons the decision to transfer is baffling for Mallory Heyer.
