The NCAA transfer portal is officially open, and the roster reshuffling across college basketball has begun in earnest. For the Virginia Tech Hokies, the movement continues as two more freshmen have decided to explore their options elsewhere. Center Antonio Dorn and guard Brett Freeman have entered the portal, bringing the total number of Hokies from the 2025-26 roster seeking a new home to six.

This exodus highlights the transient nature of modern college hoops, with five of the six departing players having spent just a single season in Blacksburg. They follow Neoklis Avdalas, Jaden Schutt, Christian Gurdak, and Izaiah Pasha into the portal, signaling a significant offseason of change for the program.

The 7-foot Dorn, an international prospect from Germany, showed flashes in his debut campaign. Navigating a back injury and an eligibility issue that cost him eight games, he appeared in 24 contests, starting five, and averaged 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds. With two years of eligibility left, his size and potential will be attractive to other programs.

Freeman, a 6'5" guard from Charlotte, took a redshirt year this past season and did not see game action. A late addition to the Hokies' 2025 class following a standout senior year, he heads into the portal with a full four years of eligibility remaining, offering a clean slate for his collegiate career.

Amidst the departures, Virginia Tech fans received a crucial piece of positive news. The program has secured the return of All-ACC honorable mention forward Amani Hansberry for next season, providing a vital cornerstone and experienced leader for the rebuilt roster.
