Former Virginia quarterback Brennan Armstrong commits to NC State
Former Virginia Cavaliers quarterback Brennan Armstrong has found his new home and will remain in the ACC. He announced Saturday that he will travel south to North Carolina after committing to NC State for 2023.
Armstrong wasn’t much of a force during his first two years at Virginia. However, he would earn the starting nod in the COVID shortened 2020 season and not look back. He had 2117 passing yards and 18 touchdowns in nine games during the COVID season.
He followed up that campaign with an even better 2021, throwing for 4449 yards and 31 touchdowns on his way to the Dudley Award, which is given to the best player from the state of Virginia. Last season, Armstrong had a few growing pains and dealt with a few injuries under Virginia’s first-year head coach Tony Elliott. He would finish the year with 2210 yards while completing 185 of his 338 pass attempts but had seven touchdowns to 12 interceptions.
Armstrong played high school football at Shelby (Ohio) High, where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 603 overall recruit in the 2018 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Track transfer portal activity
The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.
While the NCAA transfer portal database is private, the On3 Network has streamlined the reporting process tracking player movement.
If you find yourself asking, ‘How can I track transfer portal activity?’ our well-established network of reporters and contacts across college athletics keeps you up to speed in several ways, from articles written about players as they enter and exit the transfer portal or find their new destination, to our social media channels, to the On3 Transfer Portal.
The transfer portal wire provides a real-time feed of player activity, including basic player profile information, transfer portal ranking and original On3 Consensus recruiting ranking, as well as NIL valuation (name, image and likeness).
The On3 Transfer Portal Instagram account and senior national college football reporter Matt Zenitz’s Twitter account are excellent resources to stay up to date with the latest moves.
