Another Virginia quarterback hits the transfer portal

By Jerry Ratcliffe

Virginia is suddenly running out of quarterbacks after freshman Jacob Rodriguez entered the transfer portal on Friday, the second Cavaliers quarterback to do so this week. Previously, redshirt freshman Ira Armstead entered the portal.

Rodriguez played in all 12 UVA games this season, mostly at wide receiver in the same “Football Player” role that Keytaon Thompson thrived. He posted 65 yards receiving and 56 yards rushing. The Wichita Falls, Texas, player had a dynamic career at Rider High School.

With Rodriguez and Armstead exiting, Virginia only has two quarterbacks remaining for the bowl game, record-breaking Brennan Armstrong and backup Jay Woolfolk, who won the backup job midway through the season.
