Virginia Tech, WVU Secure Top Defensive Transfer Commitments

Virginia Tech has successfully added former Pitt linebacker Jordan Bass to its transfer portal class, marking the fifteenth commitment for the Hokies this cycle. Bass, who hails from Virginia and was a four-star recruit, brings two years of eligibility to a Virginia Tech defense in search of a new coordinator. Meanwhile, West Virginia University bolstered its roster by securing a transfer from former UTSA edge rusher Jimmori Robinson, who was named the AAC Defensive Player of the Year for his performance last season. With these transfers, both programs aim to enhance their defensive capabilities ahead of the upcoming season. The focus on recruiting through the transfer portal highlights a growing trend among college football programs looking to strengthen their teams. As schools navigate the evolving landscape of college athletics, including the implications of NIL deals, the competition for top talent is intensifying.
