Virginia senior tight end Jake McGee announced Friday he will transfer to another program after graduating in May. The Richmond native lettered three times for Virginia and paced Cavalier pass-catchers with 43 receptions and 345 receiving yards in 2013.
“I am very thankful for my time at U.Va. and I will always consider myself a Wahoo,” McGee said in a statement. “I have tremendous respect for coach [Mike] 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.”
McGee set a personal best for receptions in a game last Sep. 13 when he hauled in eight passes from junior quarterback David Watford against then-No. 2 Oregon. He equaled that total five weeks later at Maryland. The Virginia coaching staff had been deploying him in a hybrid wide receiver-tight end role this spring.
“I want to thank Jake for his contributions to the Virginia program and wish him the best,” London said. “When I came to U.Va., 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.”
