Colorado State running back Jalen Dupree announced Thursday he is leaving the team.
In a post on social media, the redshirt freshman and the Rams’ leading rusher this season said he plans to enter the transfer portal.
“I want to thank God for the blessings and opportunities I’ve experience during my time at Colorado State,” Dupree wrote in his post. “I’m also sincerely grateful to the coaches, teammates and community for their incredible support. It was an honor to be a captain. Due to coaching changes, I have decided to enter the transfer portal with three years of eligibility left at the end of the season.
“This was not an easy choice as I have deep respect for the program and all those who have supported my journey. I am eager to explore my new opportunities ahead.”
Dupree, a 6-foot, 210-pound redshirt freshman, led the Rams with 508 yards on 102 carries (5 yards per carry) and two rushing touchdowns this season.
He was a three-star recruit out of Arkansas, where he rushed for 6,805 yards over three seasons in high school. He saw limited action last season before having a breakout game with 92 rushing yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ season opener at Washington on Aug. 30.
Dupree finishes his CSU career with 127 carries for 661 yards and three touchdowns.
The transfer portal for CSU players will open five days after the announcement of a new coach. That is a new window for players after a coaching change. CSU fired former head coach Jay Norvell in October.
Dupree had been named a captain a few weeks ago after several of CSU’s original captains went down with injuries. He is the second captain to leave the team during the season, joining quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi.
