On Friday, West Virginia Football lost a big piece to the transfer portal with former walk-on turned star wideout Hudson Clement entering the transfer portal.
Clement, a 6-foot-1 sophomore from Martinsburg, West Virginia, led the team in receiving yards this fall for Neal Brown’s group.
After earning a scholarship in 2023 with a three-touchdown outing vs. Duquesne, Clement developed into one of the Big 12’s top receiving threats. This fall, Clement doubled up his production from his true freshman season with 51 grabs for 741 yards and five scores.
Clement didn’t receive a single collegiate offer when coming out of Martinsburg High School in the Class of 2022 and elected to walk on at West Virginia. After two years of dominance in Morgantown, Clement is now one of the top available wideouts in the transfer portal.
The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, December 9, 2024, and will remain open until Saturday, December 28, with an exception for players on teams who play bowl games after the window closes. According to NCAA data, 2,273 FBS football players entered the transfer portal in 2023-24 school year, with 1,558 (68.5%) undergraduates and 715 (31.5%) graduate transfers. Of the entrants, 57% reported that they enrolled in another school, 8% withdrew their names from the portal, and 35% are still active, transferred to a non-NCAA school, or left their sport.
