After witnessing Hudson Clement enter the transfer portal on Friday evening, another member of the West Virginia wide receiver room is electing to depart the program.
That player is sophomore wideout Traylon Ray, who spent the previous two seasons as a serious contributor in Morgantown.
Ray, a 6-foot-1 receiver from Tallahassee, Florida, committed to West Virginia coming out of high school. He spent two seasons with the team and recorded 46 grabs for 747 yards and seven career touchdowns.
Coming out of North Florida Christian in the Class of 2023, Ray was listed as a four-star prospect by the 247Sports index and the nation’s 362nd-ranked prospect. He also checked in as the 52nd-ranked player at his position and the 68th-ranked player in the state of Florida.
Ray hits the portal with two years of eligibility remaining.
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.
