Virginia Tech's Jaydon Young plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal
Virginia Tech’s Jaydon Young plans to enter his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned.
Young just finished his sophomore season as a reserve mostly to this point with the Hokies. He has appeared in 58 games and, in that time, averaged 5.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. He made a big jump as an underclassman, though, as he posted 8.1 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists this year as a sophomore. That made Young the third-leading scorer this season for VT behind Tobi Lawal and Mylyjael Poteat.
Young, a native of Greensboro, was a three-star recruit and the No. 217 overall prospect in the 2023 cycle. He also rated as a Top-10 player in North Carolina and a Top-50 SG in the class. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Young isn’t the only planned entry into the portal for them either as of this morning. Rodney Brown Jr., a fellow sophomore who transferred in last season, is planning to enter his name in as well.
