Elyse Wood of Miami, Florida will transfer to join Virginia Tech for the 2026-2027 season. Wood spent her freshman season at Marshall and has three years of eligibility remaining.
“Throughout all of the uncertainty of the past month and a half there have been many things that remained true; amongst them: 1. My love for my Marshall Family 2. Everything happens for a reason 3. One door closes (and then reopens ) and another one opens. With this being said, I’d like to announce that I will be continuing my journey at Virginia Tech. First, I’d like to thank my team, Coach Ian, and Coach Kat for their unwavering love and support. Next, I’d like to thank my parents… without you none of this would be possible. Lastly, I’d like to thank the coaches at Virginia Tech for this amazing opportunity. Although the decision is bittersweet, I am extremely excited to see what this next adventure has in store for me. Go Hokies! ”
