Two graduate transfers – South Carolina’s K.J. Brent and Michigan’s Russell Bellomy – have announced where they will play their final seasons of college football.
Brent, a 6-foot-4 wide receiver, announced on Twitter that he’s headed to the ACC to play for Wake Forest in his home state of North Carolina.
Come fall this year I'll be a Demon Deacon at Wake Forest University! 🎩
— KJ Brent (@KJ_Brent80) February 22, 2015 After catching nine passes for 111 yards last season, Brent announced his intent to transfer in January. Brent redshirted his first year with the program in 2011 and then caught a combined five passes for 41 yards in 2012 and 2013.
The Demon Deacons, who went 3-9 last season, lost E.J. Scott (50 catches, 513 yards, four TDs) and Matt James (40 catches, 401 yards) to graduation, so Brent should have the chance to make an immediate impact.
Like Brent, Bellomy, a native of Arlington, Texas, is also headed back to his home state where he will play for Larry Coker at the University of Texas-San Antonio.
Bellomy, a quarterback, will be available to play immediately for the Roadrunners, who went 4-8 in their second season in Conference USA. Bellomy didn’t see much playing time during his career at Michigan. In five total appearances, the 6-foot-3, 217-pound Bellomy completed 4-of-21 passes for 46 yards and four interceptions.
Bellomy has some competition at the position as he enters a position battle that includes Austin Robinson and Blake Bogenschutz, both of whom started games for the Roadrunners in 2014. Robinson appeared in eight games and started four, throwing for 645 yards, a touchdown and five interceptions while also running for 222 yards and a score as a sophomore. Bogenschutz threw for 282 yards and two interceptions in four games and one start as a true freshman.
Bellomy is set to graduate from Michigan this spring.
