It seems the rumors swirling lately were true: Tommy White entered the transfer portal this morning, per Kendall Rogers. That’s some difficult news to stomach for NC State, but if White wasn’t happy here or wanted to leverage a huge season, well, there’s not much Elliott Avent or anybody else in Raleigh could do about it.
People undoubtedly will point to NIL opportunities as a reason for his leaving, and while that might end up a significant factor, it’s might not be the primary one. White is from Florida and may want to be closer to home; he also may want more guaranteed time at an infield position, be it first or third.
