Once LSU concluded its disappointing 2020 season in December, sophomore running back Chris Curry announced he was entering the NCAA transfer portal.
On Wednesday, Curry announced his transfer to the Utah Utes.
A former four-star recruit from Lehigh Acres, Florida, Curry has three years of eligibility remaining when you add the extra year granted by the NCAA to all fall athletes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Curry appeared in four games as a freshman in 2018 before deciding to redshirt.

In 2019, Curry appeared in seven games, rushing for 189 yards. He rushed for 90 yards in the College Football Playoff semifinal win over Oklahoma, his best game at LSU.
The Tigers had high hopes for Curry in 2020, but LSU’s running game struggled as a whole. He finished the season with 145 rushing yards in seven games.
For his entire LSU career, Curry carried the ball 91 times for 336 yards.
LSU will have a crowded backfield in 2021 as Tyrion Davis-Price, John Emery Jr., Tre Bradford and Josh Williams are all expected back. The Tigers will also add two prized recruits in Corey Kiner and Armoni Goodwin.
