Last winter, the Virginia Tech football team had a mass exodus out of Blacksburg through the Transfer Portal. One year after getting a ton of retention, the Hokies and former head coach Brent Pry saw several players exit.
Last spring was the last spring Transfer Portal before the NCAA did away with it this season, and having just one portal in early January. Last April, former three-star quarterback Davi Belfort hit the portal and headed back home to his home state of Florida to continue his career. He ended up landing at Central Florida in the portal and making the move from the ACC to the Big 12.
