Travis Blackshear headed back to Furman

In the fall of 2021, Travis Blackshear tied for the league lead in interceptions in the SoCon with 5.

In November, he was named second-team All-SoCon by the league’s coaches.

Then, on the same day, he announced he’d be entering the Transfer Portal.

Now, the Savannah-native is headed back to the Paladins. Blackshear made the announcement on his Twitter, saying “Run it Back !”

ESPN Coastal reached out to Travis Blackshear to see what went into his decision to return to Furman.

“Had to do what was best for me at this point in my career.” Blackshear stated.

Travis Blackshear’s return is a big pickup for a Furman team that is looking to improve on a 6-5 record in 2021 (4-4 in SoCon play).
