The transfer portal is still open for the spring window in college football and Virginia Tech is not immune to players going into the portal and looking for other opportunities. Today, reserve defensive back Cam Fleming has entered the portal, becoming the 7th player on the roster to enter the portal since the spring window opened up.

Fleming totaled two tackles this past season and was a member of the 2023 recruiting class. As a recruit, Fleming was the No. 988 player in the country according to the 247Sports Composite, the No. 98 cornerback, and the No. 28 player in the state of Virginia.

Quarterback Davi Belfort, offensive linemen Web Davidson and Caleb Nitta, linebacker Jayden McDonald, defensive lineman Jorden McDonald, and defensive back Braylon Johnson.

The linebacker spot is one that Virginia Tech is going to be focusing on in this spring transfer portal window. In the winter window, the Hokies lost a pair of solid linebackers when Sam Brumfield and Keli Lawson entered the portal. Will the Hokies be able to find more talent for new defensive coordinator Sam Siefkes?

Jorden McDonald totaled 11 tackles and 1.5 sacks during his four seasons with the Hokies. According to PFF (Pro Football Focus), he totaled 26 snaps this season and finished with a 68.6 overall grade. In 2023, he played a career high 101 snaps and finished with a 60.3 overall grade.

Belfort is currently a redshirt freshman who recently starred in Virginia Tech's spring game this past weekend. On Saturday, Belfort notched 51 yards on 7-11 through the air, compiling a touchdown, with a further 36 yards on the ground.

The former Under Armour All-American was highly touted coming out of high school. Belfort held offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Miami, Oregon, Penn State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas A&M, among many other schools across the nation.

According to 247Sports, Belfort was the 50th best QB in the 247Sports Composite, and a three-star overall.

Below is an overview of Belfort form 247Sports.

"An undersized competitor that can draw you in with his tantalizing stretches of play. Unique pedigree for a quarterback as he’s the son of MMA great Vitor Belfort. Originally was a member of the 2025 recruiting class, but elected to move up a year in the Summer of 2022 and enrolled at Miami’s Gulliver Prep for his junior season. Ended up missing a few games due to injury, but still accounted for 2,300 yards of total offense and 16 touchdowns. Can quickly set up and let it rip with his tighter mechanics, but some of his best throws come when he’s climbing through the pocket and evading pressure. Might not be the biggest signal caller, but is pretty scrappy as a runner and isn’t afraid to lower the shoulder pad and take a blow in hopes of moving the chains. Likely to find most success in a single-back spread attack that leans heavily on play-action as that should allow him to create on the move. Must continue to improve as a passer and adjust to the speed of the college game, but has some of the tools required to eventually make an impact on Saturdays."
