That’s four #Hokies in the portal so far, according to announcements and reports: OL Gabriel Arena, QB Dylan Wittke, RB Tralon Mitchell and DB Antonio Cotman Jr.

The #Hokies have their first transfer portal entry in the post-spring window: offensive lineman Gabriel Arena, a member or the 2023 signing class.
