Transfer Safety Tahj Ra-El Withdraws Commitment to West Virginia
Transfer safety Tahj Ra-El is withdrawing his commitment to West Virginia. This completes a period of a few days that saw Ra-El visit WVU, tell reporters how “great” the visit was, announce a commitment to the Mountaineers and now change his mind a day later.
Ra-El announced his plans to transfer on Dec. 30, simply posting a screenshot of Old Dominion submitting his transfer request. The Charlotte, North Carolina native has one year of eligibility remaining.
Ra-El recorded 84 total tackles, six pass deflections, 5.5 tackles for a loss, and one interception in 2023. He has 132 tackles in three years at ODU. He ended up picking WVU over Big 12 foe Cincinnati.
