Would be Virginia Tech redshirt freshman quarterback Andrew Ford has been granted his release, and is set to transfer according to Norm Wood of the Daily Press.

Ford, the 2013 Gatorade Pennsylvania Football Player of the Year, enrolled at Tech in January 2014 and dressed for every game, but did not play any snaps. Although, Beamer Co. came close to burning his redshirt in last year's regular season finale against Virginia.

"That was a very physical battle as you'd expect in a rivalry game, and at one point, we had a very serious discussion of a last minute pulling of the redshirt off Andrew Ford," Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler told BeamerBall.com last December. "Michael Brewer was hurting, Brenden Motley was hurting and we came within a millimeter of burning Ford's redshirt. But, Brewer sucked it up, showed what he has running up and down his spine, hung in there, and found a way to help us win."

Even with Ford's departure, the Hokies remain flush at the quarterback position. Brenden Motley (r-Jr.), Chris Durkin (r-Fr.) and incoming blue chip signal caller Dwayne Lawson will all be listed on the depth chart along with perceived senior starter Michael Brewer this season. Although, there will be less "Ford" puns to go around.

HokieHaven.com also reported redshirt junior tight end Dakota Jackson was granted a release.

However, for the moment that doesn't seem quite as firm as the Ford news.
