Virginia wide receiver David Eldridge will transfer to James Madison for the 2017 season.

The junior announced he was leaving UVa last week. On Tuesday, he tweeted that he will attend JMU saying "I would first like to thank God and my family for being by my side through this difficult process. I want to thank all the schools that showed interest in me, but I have decided to continue my academic and football career at James Madison University. #NewBreed"

In two seasons with the Cavaliers, Eldridge caught 10 passes, for 265 yards and 2 scores.

He will get a chance to play right away for the Dukes. JMU graduated three of its four leading receivers from the 2016-17 championship team. Only Terrance Alls, a Duke transfer returns.

Alls caught 39 passes for 575 yards and 5 touchdowns in his first year with JMU. He finished third in both receptions and receiving yards.

Eldridge is listed at 6-foot-1-inch tall. He's from Bealeton, Va, but attended high school in Illinois.
