For whatever reason, the transfer train has had an inordinate amount of departures from Minnesota of late.
That attrition continued Wednesday, with Jaylen Waters (pictured, No. 35) announcing via Twitter that he has decided to transfer from Minnesota. “It’s time for me to take my talents elsewhere,” the linebacker said, without giving a reason for his decision or a potential destination.

Waters had played in 27 games the past two seasons, including 10 in 2017. He becomes the fourth player this week to leave P.J. Fleck‘s program.
Monday, three players -- quarterback Demry Croft and wide receivers Hunter Register and Rashad Still -- all announced on social media that they had decided to transfer out. Croft was the most noteworthy of those defections as he started the last six games of the season under center for the Gophers.
