Virginia Football Faces Transfer Portal Exodus

Virginia football is saying goodbye to two players who are leaving for new opportunities. Ja'Son Prevard, a junior cornerback, is one of them. He was a key player in the defense, playing in many games and making important plays. He had 24 tackles, five pass breakups, and three interceptions this season. His best game was against Florida State, where he had a crucial interception in the end zone to seal the win. But Prevard's playing time dropped in the last two games. He only played nine snaps against Virginia Tech and 33 against Duke in the ACC Championship. This might have influenced his decision to enter the transfer portal. He had a good season, with a 71. 1 grade from Pro Football Focus, and he could get a better deal elsewhere. Prevard started his college career at Morgan State, an FCS school, before transferring to Virginia. The other player leaving is Tyshawn Wyatt, a fifth-year offensive lineman. He only played in three games this season, all in blowout wins. His college journey started at JMU in 2020, but he missed the entire 2024 season due to an injury. Wyatt's limited playing time at Virginia might have pushed him to look for more opportunities. He could have another year of eligibility in 2025, but he might want to find a team where he can play more. These transfers could impact Virginia's plans for next season, especially losing a key defensive player like Prevard.
