The First Bank & Trust Company Friday Q&A: Transfer Portal Talk

Grant Wells Virginia Tech
Should Virginia Tech bring in a transfer QB in the offseason? (Ivan Morozov)

1) Given our current QB situation: Wells having looked average, Brown set to graduate, one of Farrell and Bullock being a potential transfer candidate after this spring, and only taking one freshman QB so far… would you like to see us add a transfer portal QB to compete with Wells, or use the 4th QB scholarship on a second true freshman recruit to add long term depth? – djd_vt

Chris Coleman: With Brown graduating, here is what the current VT QB situation looks like for 2023 in their current order on the depth chart, plus the incoming freshman…

1: Grant Wells, r-Sr. (with a COVID year in 2024 if he so chooses)
2: Devin Farrell, r-Fr.
3: Tahj Bullock, r-So.
4: Dylan Wittke, Fr.

Would Bullock stick around to the spring to try and give himself a chance to move ahead of Farrell, or would he leave at the end of this semester? Because if he waits and then you decide to not take a transfer QB, and then Bullock ends up transferring in May, then you’re stuck in a bad situation because there probably won’t be any good transfer QBs available at that stage. So whatever happens there in terms of attrition, I would prefer it to happen in December.
