Minnesota defensive tackle Rashad Cheney has entered the transfer portal, becoming the second defensive lineman to go looking for a ticket out of the Twin Cities this week.
After redshirting in 2018, Cheney saw action in four games last season, recording six tackles and one pass break-up. But with Nyles Pinckney, Micah Dew-Treadway, DeAngelo Carter, and Val Martin dominating the rotation at defensive tackle this season, Cheney only saw minimal snaps in six games. With Pinckney, Dew-Treadway, and Martin all walking out the door at season’s end, Cheney figured to be in competition for a starting spot next season.
