WVSN WVU Football Transfer Portal Tracker – December 20

Since the WVU football program is experiencing a transition and that likely means an influx of players going in and out of West Virginia, WV Sport Now is offering this separate notebook that will serve as a tracker of the transfer portal movement.

Below are the most recent players who were reported or confirmed to be entering the transfer portal.

WR Ric’Darious “DayDay” Farmer 

One year after signing Ric’Darious “DayDay” Farmer as a big recruiting win, the WVU wide receiver is hitting the transfer portal. Farmer has decided to treat the portal water after West Virginia’s recent coaching change from Neal Brown to Rich Rodriguez, per ESPN’s Max Olson.

Farmer played sparingly in his first season of college football in 2024. He made six receptions for 54 yards. Farmer caught two balls for nine yards in WVU’s 42-37 Frisco Bowl loss to Memphis on Tuesday night.

RB CJ Donaldson 

Star running back CJ Donaldson plans to enter the transfer portal and leave WVU, according to a report by ESPN on Thursday.

Donaldson, a junior from Miami, Fla., has been the Mountaineers’ primary running back for three seasons.

OL Johnny Williams IV 

Offensive lineman Johnny Williams IV is the latest WVU player to enter the transfer portal, announcing the move Thursday on social media.

“I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of my journey here at West Virginia University,” he wrote. “After careful reflection and consideration and conversation with God and my family, I have made the decision to enter my name into the transfer portal.”
