Running back Chance Black announced Friday that he's entering the transfer portal, the sixth scholarship Virginia Tech player to do so this month.
A 2021 signee out of Spartanburg, South Carolina, Black ran for 141 yards in three years, and was a deep reserve in 2023 who only got six carries behind featured backs Bhayshul Tuten and Malachi Thomas.

Black's biggest contribution came during his first two seasons as a kick returner, where he had 21 chances and averaged 20.6 yards per return. He'll have two years of eligibility remaining at his next stop.
His departure leaves the Hokies' running back room with four scholarship backs at the moment: Tuten, Thomas and freshmen Jeremiah Coney and Tralon Mitchell. The Hokies have Tyler Mason committed in the 2024 recruiting class.
Black is the sixth Hokie to enter the portal, joining Dae'Quan Wright, Bryce Duke, Da'Wain Lofton, Derrick Canteen and Johnny Dickson.
