There was a sense that Udoh could pursue the transfer following the season that put together and his talent.

“I want to express my sincere appreciation to coach (Jeff) Monken, the coaching staff, my teammates and everyone in the Army football community for their support, guidance and cameraderie,” Udoh wrote. “I’ve formed friendship that formed into family and I will always carry the pride of being a part of the Army football brotherhood.

“I’m excited for what the future holds and the next chapter in my journey but I will forever treasure the time that I spent at West Point and the lessons I’ve learned as a member of the brotherhood.”

Udoh finished with a team-high 53 rushing yards against Navy in what appears to be his last game for Army. The Black Knights will play Louisiana Tech, which took the place of Marshall Saturday. Udoh’s social media post says to contact Vienna Talent Group for any recruitment or business inquiries.

“Thank you again to everyone that has supported me during my time here,” Udoh said. “I wish nothing but the best for Army football and will always be rooting for the team’s success.”
