Virginia wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks declares for NFL Draft

With transfer portal and NFL Draft decisions coming thick and fast in recent days, Dontayvion Wicks is the most recent member of the Virginia Cavaliers’ football team to declare his decision to leave the program as he turns his attention to the NFL Draft. Wicks is the second Wahoo to declare for the 2023 draft after cornerback Anthony Johnson did on Friday. With the redshirt junior Wicks leaving and Brennan Armstrong reportedly in the transfer portal, the record-setting duo will likely both likely be leaving Charlottesville this offseason.

In his breakout season in 2021, Wicks set the Virginia program record for receiving yards in a season with 1,203 as he was first in the ACC and fifth in the country with 21.
