Ball State wide receiver Damon Hazelton will transfer to Virginia Tech. Hazelton announced his transfer from the Cardinal program in March. He committed to Virginia Tech on Thursday afternoon.

Hazelton was second in receptions for Ball State as a true freshman last season and led the team in touchdowns, recording 51 catches for 505 yards and four touchdowns. He started seven games during his lone year at Ball State.

As a member of the 2016 class, Hazelton committed to Ball State over FAU.

Hazelton is the second wide receiver to transfer to Virginia Tech this spring, joining Ohio State's James Clark who is a graduate transfer.

Due to NCAA transfer restrictions, the 6-foot 2-inch, 209-pounder will have to sit out the 2017 season. He will have three years of eligibility remaining following his redshirt year this fall.
