What did Koby Brea say about his decision to enter the transfer portal?

Koby Brea announced that he would be leaving the Dayton Flyers in a post shared on his social media accounts last Monday:

"As a 17-year-old from New York City, being accepted onto the grounds of the University of Dayton, I was greeted by a community whose embrace felt like a home-a warmth that will stay with me forever.
"Through the highs and lows, the victories and defeats, Dayton became more than just a place, university,or a team; it became a part of who I am. To the coaches, staff, teammates, managers and academic community: Your guidance and support have shaped me in ways I can never fully express, but my appreciation will never waver."

He continued:

"And to Flyer nation, your constant love and encouragement has lifted me up on countless occasions, turning moments into memories I'll forever cherish. With that, it is with a heavy heart, that I have made the decision to enter the transfer portal.
"It's a choice born of deep reflection and prayer, filled with uncertainty but also excitement for the journey ahead. But no matter where life takes me, my bond with Dayon, with Flyer nation, will remain unbreakable. I'm a Flyer forever!"
