Virginia Tech picked up a transfer portal commitment from North Carolina A&T running back Bhayshul Tuten on Friday night. He has two years of eligibility remaining.
Tuten rushed for 1,363 yards on 208 carries (6.6 ypc) while scoring 13 rushing touchdowns in 2022. He also caught 31 passes for 342 yards and another four touchdowns. After rushing for only 20 yards in the season opener against North Carolina Central, he finished the season with 11 consecutive 100-yard rushing games.
Tuten’s best overall game came against Campbell when he ran for 256 yards on 30 carries. In his only game of 2022 against FBS competition, he had 13 carries for 113 yards against Duke. As a freshman in 2021, he also had a good game against the Blue Devils, finishing with seven carries for 54 yards.
A native of Paulsboro, NJ, Tuten did not redshirt, and thus has three years to play two. After entering the transfer portal on December 14, he listed offers from Georgia, Boston College, Missouri, Kansas State, Pitt and Florida on his Twitter page.
