Virginia Tech quarterback Tahj Bullock entered the transfer portal on Monday, putting the former New Jersey prep standout back on the open market.
A class of 2021 quarterback out of St. Peter’s Prep (Jersey City, N.J.), Bullock was a consensus three-star recruit and a top 20 player in the state. He was offered by Rutgers football out of St. Peter’s Prep.
Portal played in one game last season for Virginia Tech, maintaining his redshirt status. He completed two of four passes for 27 yards, being sacked once in a bowl game loss to Maryland.
Could Bullock be swayed to come home and play for Rutgers? Well, there could be a need on the Rutgers roster to add depth at quarterback.
But Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano and company were adamant in pursuing Gavin Wimsatt, a four-star quarterback who re-classified and enrolled early as a member of the 2021 recruiting class.
This doesn’t seem to be a situation where Rutgers is looking to add a quarterback to the roster.
Plus, the early returns on Ajani Sheppard are promising. A former three-star quarterback from Iona Prep (New Rochelle, N.Y.), Sheppard earned some praise last week from head coach Greg Schiano for his performances this spring.

Sheppard enrolled at Rutgers in January and is one of three scholarship quarterbacks on the roster.
“He’s really improving – by leaps and bounds,” Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano told reporters on Saturday.
“It’s good to see. You’re a young freshman quarterback out of high school, there’s so much to learn. So when I talk about it, the game goes a little faster, and I’m sure it’s going fast for him. But you can see where he gets it and when it all slows down, he’s going to really be a good player.”
