JMU Football Spring Transfer Portal Tracker: Departures and Additions

JMU Football Sees Significant Activity in Spring Transfer Portal

As the spring season approaches, JMU football has been making waves in the transfer portal with several key departures. The team, which had a successful 2023 season, is looking to reload and make a run at the championship once again.

One of the notable departures is Tyrique Tucker, a solid defensive tackle who played in all 13 games last season. With three years of eligibility left, Tucker was expected to be a key player for the Dukes in 2024. However, he has decided to transfer to Indiana to play for Curt Cignetti.

Another departure is Sammy Malignaggi, a backup running back who is moving to Campbell to seek more playing time. Solomon Vanhorse, a versatile player who excelled as a returner and running back, is also leaving the program. Additionally, Collin Carroll, Wesley Bostic, Nakai Poole, Aaron Gunn, Rykin Maxwell, D’Angelo Ponds, AJ Abbasi, and Seth Naotala are all entering the transfer portal.

While these departures may be a blow to the team, JMU football is known for its ability to recruit top talent and develop players. With a strong coaching staff and a winning tradition, the Dukes are sure to bounce back from these losses and continue their success on the field.

As fans eagerly await the start of the spring season, all eyes will be on JMU football to see how they navigate the transfer portal and build a competitive roster for the upcoming year. Stay tuned for more updates on the team’s roster moves and preparations for the 2024 season.
