MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — ESPN’s Pete Thamel is reporting that WVU quarterback JT Daniels will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal for a third time. After starting his college career at USC and then transferring to Georgia before arriving in Morgantown, Daniels will once again seek a new home.
Sources: West Virginia QB JT Daniels intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal. He’ll have at least one year of eligibility, and it could two years depending on whether he could get a medical redshirt for 2019. He’s been the quarterback at USC and Georgia prior to WVU.

Daniels earned the starting spot for the Mountaineers prior to the season opener at Pittsburgh. He started ten games for WVU before being replaced by redshirt sophomore Garrett Greene. Daniels passed for 2,107 yards with 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Seven of his nine interceptions came in his final five games.
Daniels will join fellow quarterback Will Crowder in the transfer portal. Crowder announced his decision to depart on Monday after two years in the Mountaineer program. Greene and freshman Nicco Marchiol are the two remaining scholarship quarterbacks on the WVU roster.
Former Tyler Consolidated High School running back Markquan Rucker also announced his decision to enter the transfer portal on Tuesday.
