Gophers women’s basketball forward Mallory Heyer announced Wednesday she plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal.

The Chaska native was on the verge of beginning her senior season at Minnesota on Nov. 4 but will leave the program instead.

“Thank you Minnesota for the past 3 years,” Heyer wrote on X. “I am forever grateful for the opportunity to represent my home state and wear Minnesota across my chest. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way.

“For personal reasons, I will be closing this chapter of my career at Minnesota and entering the transfer portal to find a new home as a graduate transfer. God’s Plan!”

Heyer started all 36 games last season, leading the team with 8.1 rebounds per game and contributing 8.6 points.
