UVA’s transfer class numbers 30 with addition of CB Morris

By Jerry Ratcliffe

Virginia continued to build toward the 2025 football season this week by adding its 30th player from the transfer portal, defensive back Ja’Maric Morris.

Morris is a rangy, 6-foot-3, 205-pound grad student going on his fourth football program, starting at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas in 2022, transferring to Central Florida (UCF) and then transferring last season to Georgia State.

Morris started two games and played in 10 contests for Georgia State in 2024 and had two interceptions, four PBUs and 10 tackles.

A native of Timmonsville, S.C., he played mostly corner but has the versatility to also play at safety.

Virginia’s transfer portal class, which has added 11 players since the end of spring practice, is now ranked the No. 23 class in the country by 247Sports and fourth in the ACC behind Miami (No. 3), Florida State (No. 6) and Bill Belichick’s North Carolina (No. 9).
