Virginia Tech redshirt freshman wide receiver DeJuan Ellis has entered the transfer portal according to multiple members of the media.
Ellis, a Maryland native, was a quarterback in high school and was converted to a slot receiver at Virginia Tech. Known for his speed, he had a productive Spring Game, but seems to have been passed on the depth chart this August by true freshman 4-star slot receiver Tayvion Robinson of Virginia Beach.
Robinson has moved up the pecking order at wide receiver and punt returner during the first week of camp, and as a result Ellis was sitting at third string behind Robinson and starter Hezekiah Grimsley.
