Talented Pac-12 skill position transfer sets visit to ACC program
Fresh of a visit to UCLA this weekend, former Colorado and Houston running back Alton McCaskill has a visit with Virginia Tech lined up, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports.
McCaskill is one of the top prospects on the NCAA transfer market despite a down year at Colorado in 2023.
He spent just one season in Colorado and did not have nearly the kind of impact he would have hoped for. He saw just 14 carries and logged 59 yards, while also catching two passes for 19 yards.
He entered the transfer portal as a result, seeking a new home where he can return to form.
Because McCaskill was widely regarded as one of college’s best after his freshman season at Houston in 2022. He averaged 5.1 yards per carry and racked up 961 yards and 16 touchdowns rushing. He also recorded 21 catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns.
For whatever reason, that didn’t translate at Colorado and McCaskill found playing time difficult to come by.
Virginia Tech is a program that could certainly use the boost in the backfield, and the Hokies will hope they’re able to win out over some stiff competition in the portal.
Prior to enrolling at Houston, Alton McCaskill was a four-star prospect and the No. 386 overall recruit in the 2021 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.
He also checked in as the No. 26 running back in the class and the No. 54 overall player from the state of Texas, hailing from Conroe (TX) Oak Ridge.
Virginia Tech QB Dylan Wittke commits to Minnesota
Virginia Tech quarterback Dylan Wittke has committed to Minnesota out of the NCAA transfer portal, he announced on his Twitter account on Tuesday night.
Wittke left Virginia Tech following the spring after it appeared the backup job might instead go to William “Pop” Watson III.
In one season at Virginia Tech, Wittke did not see the field and instead took a redshirt. His next collegiate action in a game will be his first.
Born on April 19, 1941, in Laporte, Indiana, she was the daughter of Robert F. Berns and Henrietta (Thompson) Berns. Virginia was…

VIRGINIA (WCYB) — The Virginia Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Monday, April 27, in a legal challenge connected to redistricting in the state.
A Tazewell County Circuit Court judge blocked the certification of votes from Tuesday’s congressional map referendum. Roughly 51 percent of voters voted “yes” to redraw the state’s congressional maps.
The Tazewell County judge ruled that the referendum was illegal.
Attorney General Jay Jones filed an appeal on Thursday, warning the decision would invalidate the votes of millions of Virginians and could pose problems ahead of the Aug. 4 primary.
Oral arguments are set for 9 a.m. Monday and an audio livestream will be available on the Virginia Supreme Court’s website.
