Louisville sophomore wide receiver Marcus Riley has entered his name in the NCAA's transfer portal, a team spokesman confirmed Tuesday.

The 5-foot-10, 170-pound speedster saw action in six games as a freshman, catching three passes for nine yards, and running the ball for four yards on three carries. He participated in the Cardinals' spring practice, which wrapped up earlier this month.

Riley was a three-star prospect out of James Rickards High School in Tallahassee, Florida, as well as the No. 23 athlete and No. 383 overall player in the Class of 2018, according to 247Sports.com. He picked Louisville over offers from Nebraska, Florida and Florida State, among others.

He's at least the seventh Louisville player to enter the transfer portal since last season, and the second wide receiver to do so this month, a number that was expected as the team heads into its first season under new head coach Scott Satterfield.

The other players transferring are quarterback Jordan Travis, running back Trey Smith, wide receiver Corey Reed, defensive end Jonathan Greenard, defensive lineman Allen Love and linebacker Kam Jones. Offensive lineman Wyatt Smock also left the team.
