UVa. senior tight end Jake McGee announced today that he plans to transfer after completing his degree at the University in May.
McGee, a 6’6”, 250-pounder from Richmond, led Virginia in 2013 with 43 catches and 396 receiving yards, and compiled 71 catches, 769 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in three seasons in Charlottesville.
Earlier this month, UVa. football coach Mike London named McGee to his leadership council for the upcoming 2014 season.
“I want to thank Jake for his contributions to the Virginia program and wish him the best,” London said on the news of McGee’s plans to transfer. “When I came to UVa, he was one of the first players we recruited because he had committed to play for me at Richmond. I am very proud of the fact he will graduate from the University this spring. I hope he finds a program that fits his desires for his final season as a college player.”
McGee released a statement from the UVa. sports information office:
“I am very thankful for my time at UVa and I will always consider myself a Wahoo,” McGee said. “I have tremendous respect for Coach London and this football team, but I have decided to pursue my future career elsewhere. This is a personal decision and in no way should reflect on this team or its coaches. I want to thank my teammates, coaches, and especially the Wahoo fans for the endless support. Go Hoos.”
