Tulane defensive back Chris Joyce enters NCAA transfer portal

Tulane defensive back Chris Joyce announced Thursday via Twitter that he has decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal.

I want to thank Tulane Univeristy for giving me the opportunity to continue my academic and athletic career over the last 2.5 years. I am forever grateful, but after a lot of prayer and talking with family. I have decided to OFFICIALLY ENTER THE TRANSFER PORTAL. 🙏🏽

The Hampton, Ga. product has nine tackles, three passes defensed, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 13 games over two seasons after signing with the Green Wave in the Class of 2018. The interception came in Tulane’s 2018 Cure Bowl win over Louisiana-Lafayette.

Joyce, who under current NCAA rules will have to sit out the 2020 season if he transfers to another FBS school, has two years of eligibility remaining.
