Former Coastal Carolina offensive lineman Brock Hoffman has garnered national support in his attempt to be eligible to play this upcoming season after transferring to Virginia Tech.
Hoffman was one of several Chanticleers who entered their names in the new NCAA transfer portal this offseason and he signed with the Hokies.
Division I undergraduate transfers are required to sit out a season after a transfer unless they receive a waiver from the NCAA, and Hoffman requested one based on a medical family hardship.
He told The Athletic earlier this year that part of the reason he wanted to transfer was to be closer to his mother, who is recovering from surgery to remove a benign brain tumor, and family home in Statesville, N.
