Former Maryland guard Chance Stephens has signed with Minnesota, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz.

Stephens spent his freshman season at Loyola Marymount in 2022-23 before transferring to Maryland for the 2023-24 season. Unfortunately an injury would force him to miss his entire sophomore season with the Terps, but he returned the following year (2024-25) and played limited minutes.

Stephens was rated as a two-star prospect coming out of high school according to 247Sports, and was listed as the No. 66 overall shooting guard in the 2022 class. The 6-3, 185-pound prospect is now looking for a fresh start and new opportunity with the Golden Gophers.
