WISE, Va. – The wacky world of the college football transfer portal featured another interesting chapter late Saturday night.

Consider quarterback Tyler Mizzell.

Following a remarkable run at East Lincoln High School in North Carolina, Mizzell signed to play at Wake Forest University in 2023.

After a redshirt season as a freshman, Mizzell played just two snaps last year for the Deacons. He decided to take the NCAA Division II route over the summer.

That was great news for first-year Concord head coach Cody Edwards from Haysi and bad news for fans of the University of Virginia’s College at Wise Highland Cavaliers.

Mizzell completed 24-35 passes for 388 yards and three scores as the Concord Mountain Lions posted a 37-29 win over UVa Wise.
