West Virginia offensive lineman Tyler Thurmond in transfer portal

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Redshirt sophomore offensive tackle Tyler Thurmond, who appeared in three games in his West Virginia career, has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Thurmond was a three-star prospect out of Buford, Ga. who signed with West Virginia in 2017. He saw sparing action in three blowouts in 2018, but that marked the extent of his playing time at WVU.

Thurmond’s situation was not poised to get better next season. The coaching staff is high on redshirt freshman tackles Parker Moorer and Brandon Yates, and sophomore Junior Uzebu served as Colton McKivitz’s backup at left tackle in 2019.
