  Virginia Tech defensive end Jaevon Becton has entered his name into the transfer portal, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The Hokies announced Becton was suspended from the team on March 4 for a violation of the school's code of conduct, but declined to address the disciplinary action outside of a brief statement. He was removed from the team's online roster at the time. Becton's status with the team hadn't changed when he entered the transfer portal this week.

The 6-foot-4, 255-pounder had 12 tackles last season (six solo) with one quarterback hurry in 10 games as a redshirt freshman. He signed with the Hokies out of Ocean Lakes High School (Virginia Beach) as a three-star prospect in 2018. Tech addressed its depth at defensive end by signing five defensive ends in 2020. The Hokies most recent roster addition at the position came in April when Youngstown State graduate transfer Justus Reed signed with the program. - Roanoke Times

  The NCAA Division I Board of Directors has come out against making changes to the transfer waiver process at this time. The Transfer Waiver Working Group recommended a one-time transfer waiver in the five sports (men's basketball, women's basketball baseball, men's ice hockey and football) that don't allow for immediate eligibility earlier this year. The Division I Council is still expected to vote on the proposal this month, but the Board of Directors' guidance could delay any change for the 2020-21 academic year. "The board agreed to lift the moratorium on transfer legislation for the 2020-21 legislative cycle but recommended to the Council that changes to the waiver process as suggested by the working group are not appropriate at this time," the NCAA's statement said. "Board members recommended the waiver process be sensitive to student-athlete well-being, especially those impacted by COVID-19 in the interim period."

That would mean Virginia Tech running back Raheem Blackshear will have to go through the same waiver process Brock Hoffman and Braxton Burmeister went through last year. The Hokies were 0 for 2 in 2019 with Hoffman's case getting national attention. Blackshear, who enrolled at Tech in January, likely faces an uphill battle without the one-time transfer rule. Virginia Tech was still gathering the paperwork for the Rutgers transfer in mid-April and had yet to submit his waiver. - Roanoke Times
