Virginia linebacker West Weeks has entered the transfer portal, the true freshman announced on Twitter on Monday afternoon. 

Weeks, a 6'2", 220-pound inside linebacker from Watkinsville, Georgia, played in ten games this season for the Cavaliers as a true freshman. Weeks recorded 31 tackles, 15 of them solo tackles, and had one sack. He had at least three tackles in each of Virginia's last five games. Weeks also had five passes defended this season. 

Weeks suffered a broken leg in the season finale against Virginia Tech on November 27th. 

With Weeks entering the portal, there are now 13 UVA football players in the transfer portal who still have a decision to make regarding their college football futures. Two Cavaliers, Joshua Rawlings and Olasunkonmi Agunloye, have announced they will be returning to Virginia after initially entering the transfer portal. Seven former UVA players have committed to other programs out of the transfer portal.
