Former UAlbany attackman Tehoka Nanticoke has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal as an undergrad. Inside Lacrosse’s Ty Xanders was the first to report the news on Tuesday afternoon.
This news comes less than three months after the senior was dismissed from the Danes’ program in late March.
Nanticoke arrived at Albany as one of the most hyped recruits in recent memory and was an impact player the second he stepped foot on campus. He helped lead the Danes to their first-ever Championship Appearance during his freshman season in 2018 and put up a total of 170 points (195G/61A) throughout his career with the Danes.

Nanticoke was expected to be a coveted PLL draft prospect, but was not selected in this spring’s draft. He is a likely top-five pick this fall.
