Two more Hokies have entered the transfer portal, per 247Sports: safety/sam linebacker Jalen Hoyle and defensive end Kyree Moyston.
A 6-foot, 185-pound safety from New Jersey who signed in 2021, Hoyle appeared in 12 games for the Hokies, primarily on special teams, making 10 tackles. He moved from safety to sam linebacker in the spring, backing up Keonta Jenkins.
Though he was nominally the backup sam by the end of spring, the Hokies figure to use Derrick Canteen frequently as a nickelback in the slot situationally.
Moyston, a 6-foot-4, 238-pound defensive end, is a more recent signee, joining the Hokies in 2022 out of Norfolk. He made a half tackle in only four games last year, preserving his redshirt. He and fellow 2022 signee Keyshawn Burgos were among those vying for a backup end spot by the end of spring.
Their departures unofficially put Virginia Tech at 84 scholarships, giving the Hokies room to add players from the transfer portal.
