Virginia Tech football: Backup quarterback Quincy Patterson enters the transfer portal

The Virginia Tech Hokies will be one scholarship quarterback short for the remainder of the 2020 season.

On Monday, redshirt sophomore Quincy Patterson announced he was entering the transfer portal.

While this news is certainly not unexpected, it is still sad. Patterson, a four-star signee from Chicago in the class of 2018, was expected to be Virginia Tech’s quarterback of the future.

Unfortunately, that development never happened and Patterson was relegated to backup duty in each of the last two seasons.

Patterson appeared in three games this season, completing seven of 10 passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns.
