Given the significant activity in the transfer portal during the winter, we figured it might be easier to track JMU football’s spring portal activity in a new tracker. Here’s the link to our winter tracker.

Transfer additions

None, as of yet.

Transfer departures

Tyrique Tucker, DL – The defensive tackle was solid in 2023, playing in all 13 games with five starts. He tallied 29 tackles to go with 4.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. With three years of eligibility left, there was hope among fans that he could develop into a standout in 2024. He was a projected starter entering spring ball.

Sammy Malignaggi, RB/KR – A backup running back, Malignaggi carried the ball 13 times for 71 yards last season. Given JMU’s transfer additions at running back, it’s unlikely he was going to see much playing time in 2024.

Solomon Vanhorse, RB – When healthy, Vanhorse was a weapon at returner and running back. He finishes his JMU career with more than 500 receiving yards, rushing yards, and return yards. He was likely JMU’s RB3, however, behind Ayo Adeyi and George Pettaway.

Collin Carroll, TE – Carroll redshirted in 2023, his first season of college football. He’s leaving the program, perhaps in search of more playing time. JMU has a crowded tight end room headlined by Kyi Wright and Taylor Thompson, among others.

Wesley Bostic, OL – Bostic enters the portal with three years of eligibility left. The reserve lineman wasn’t projected to see significant playing time for JMU in 2024.
