When one player comes in and immediately dominates, leaving no doubt who the star of their position group is, a program is bound to see a player or two behind him transfer.

The University of Utah is dealing with that today as junior running back Devin Brumfield has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. He finishes his Utah career with 94 carries for 390 yards and three touchdowns.

Once thought of as the heir apparent to Zack Moss, Brumfield was overtaken by true freshman Ty Jordan, who has burst into the NCAA scene as one of the most electrifying newcomers in all of college football. He currently has 61 carries for 443 yards and three touchdowns, as well as nine receptions for 93 yards.

Brumfield announced his intentions and thanked Utah on Twitter:

What it means:

The running back depth takes a hit and their bruising short-yardage option is gone. However, Jordan has shown he’s more than capable to take on a heavy workload as an every-down back. Brumfield’s departure follows the recent transfer of fellow running back, TJ Green, who recently announced he’d attend Liberty University. The Utes will now rely on Jordan, Micah Bernard, and Jordan Wilmore (UPDATE: Wilmore is now in the Transfer Portal, too). Four-star back Ricky Parks (5-foot-11 and 202 pounds), is also set to sign with Utah on Wednesday.

Utah’s depth may have taken a hit, but barring injury, Ty Jordan had a stranglehold on the starting job.
