When Sean Savoy made the decision to transfer from Virginia Tech, football wasn’t on his mind. With his mother’s health declining, he just wanted to find somewhere to go to school close to home.
But the wide receiver ended up getting the opportunity to continue his football career at Maryland, officially announcing his transfer on Jan. 29, 2019. Less than a month later, the deal got sweeter: his Hokie teammate, quarterback Josh Jackson, was coming to College Park.
Savoy says Jackson is his “family for life.” The two have helped each other get through some of their toughest moments in life, and now they have each other to rely on as they adjust to a new life with Maryland football.
