Deja Kelly clears air about why she transferred to Oregon

Posted Oct 7, 2024
Deja Kelly hadn’t publicly discussed why she transferred from North Carolina to Oregon for her fifth college season, but she had plenty to say on social media Monday: "Being a leader, a face of a program is not easy, and it comes with a lot of BS a lot of people cannot handle," Kelly said. "So, I give kudos to myself for being able to handle all this stuff." (Tar Heel Tribune)
