Another ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Wildcat has entered the NCAA transfer portal.Â
This time, outside linebacker Rourke Freeburg, who confirmed with the Star about his departure Sunday evening.Â
The 6-foot-2-inch, 220-pound Freeburg will become a graduate transfer and have one year of eligibility remaining. The Scottsdale native and Desert Mountain High School product joined the Wildcats as a walk-on before receiving a full-ride scholarship during the 2020 season, when he started all five games of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s winless, pandemic-affected season.Â
Freeburg evolved into a "Viper" linebacker under defensive coordinator Don Brown, but played behind starter Christian Young.Â
Freeburg finishes his ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ career with 26 tackles and 3.5 stops for loss.Â
Other Wildcats that have entered the transfer portal following ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s 1-11 season are cornerback Malik Hausman and wide receiver Jaden Mitchell.Â
