Senior cornerback Lavonte Gater announced he’s entering the transfer portal, becoming the third player and second cornerback to elect to transfer over the last 48 hours.
Gater finished second on the Red Team with five total tackles during Saturday’s scrimmage.
Gater appeared in all 30 games through his three seasons in College Park and registered 23 total tackles and one forced fumble last season. Gater appeared as a reserve defensive back as a true freshman and shined on special teams before becoming a mainstay in the cornerback rotation over the last two seasons.
The former three-star prospect out of Ballou (DC), the alma mater of head coach Mike Locksley, signed with Maryland over Rutgers, Temple and Old Dominion in the 2019 class, but ironically becomes the second former Ballou prospect to transfer alongside defensive tackle Andre Porter.
With the recent transfer, Maryland now has five vacant scholarships for the 2022 season.
