Texas A&M backup quarterback Connor Blumrick, center, looks to hand off the ball during the Aggies’ 59-7 victory over Northwestern State to open the 2018 season. Blumrick has been a key contributor on special teams this season.
Texas A&M junior Connor Blumrick, who saw limited action at quarterback and wide receiver with the Aggies, will play at Virginia Tech.
“Texas A&M will always hold a special place in my heart,” tweeted Blumrick, who announced last month he would enter the NCAA transfer portal. “The friends and family that I have made here will stick with me forever. With that being said, I am excited to announce that I have committed to continue my football career at Virginia Tech University.”
