The spring portal activity at JMU Football is closely monitored to keep track of transfers and player movements. While no transfer additions have been made yet, several key departures from the team have been announced.
Tyrique Tucker, a defensive tackle who played in all 13 games in 2023 and was projected as a starter in 2024, has left the program with three years of eligibility left. Sammy Malignaggi, a backup running back and kick returner who saw limited playing time last season, also departs the team. He was unlikely to see much playing time in 2024 due to the transfer additions at running back. Solomon Vanhorse, a versatile player at returner and running back who was likely behind Ayo Adeyi and George Pettaway on the depth chart, also leaves the team.
Collin Carroll, a tight end who redshirted in 2023 and is looking for more playing time, has left the program. The tight end room at JMU is crowded with players like Kyi Wright and Taylor Thompson leading the pack. Wesley Bostic, an offensive lineman with three years of eligibility left who was not projected to see significant playing time in 2024 as a reserve lineman, has also entered the transfer portal.
