"I want to thank Coach (Dabo) Swinney, his exceptional staff, and the entire athletic department for giving me an opportunity and believing in me," Mukuba posted in part on X. "I appreciate everything you guys have taught and shared with me to make me a better player and an even better person.
"After lots of prayers, conversations with my family, and several tough decisions, I will be entering the transfer portal."
Mukuba started 10 games this season and finished with a career-low 42 tackles in 578 snaps. He was a Freshman All-American in 2021 and ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year after becoming the first true freshman defensive back to start a season opener for the Tigers.
Ojiegbe, a 6-foot-3, 240-pound freshman from Largo, Maryland, played 11 snaps in two games this season while redshirting. He was a four-star prospect out of St. John's College High, where he totaled 30 tackles for loss, including 16 sacks, as a senior.
