The [autotag]Virginia Tech Hokies[/autotag] lost a part of its quarterback room on Monday as backup signal caller Tahj Bullock entered the transfer portal according to multiple reports.
Bullock was a consensus three-star recruit across the recruiting industry and was ranked as the No.18 dual-threat quarterback by ESPN in the 2021 recruiting cycle. He originally committed to the Hokies under then-head coach Justin Fuente.
He would make his collegiate debut in the 2021 Pinstripe Bowl where he completed 2-of-4 passing attempts for 27 yards while picking up 14 rushing yards, Bullock did not see the field this past fall under the Hokies’ new coaching staff in head coach Brent Pry and offensive coordinator Tyler Bowen.
The move is not all too surprising as the Hokies picked up a transfer portal commitment back in December from Baylor transfer Kyron Drones. Drones this spring battled primarily former Marshall quarterback and second-year Hokie Grant Wells for the starting quarterback job.
Also on the Hokies roster at quarterback outside Drones and Wells are senior Connor Blumrick, redshirt freshman Devin Farrell, freshman Dylan Wittke, freshman William Watson III, and walk-on redshirt freshman Ben Locklear. With a crowded quarterback room, it wouldn’t be surprising to see at least one more quarterback from the Hokies enter the transfer portal.
The room will only be more crowded come 2024 as well with the Hokies currently holding a commitment from four-star quarterback Davi Belfort, the son of MMA legend Vitor Belfort.
