In a whirlwind of college football transfers, several standout players from the York-Adams League have landed new homes through the transfer portal.
This article follows the journeys of Beau Pribula, Kenny Johnson, Jahiem White, and Juelz Goff as they chase new chapters in their football careers.
Each player’s path is a little different, shaped by their past and what they hope to accomplish next. There’s a sense that they’ll make some noise at their new schools.
Beau Pribula’s New Chapter at Virginia
Former Central York quarterback Beau Pribula is headed to Virginia, where he’s expected to start for the Cavaliers in 2026.
Pribula previously held the top job at Missouri and started his college career at Penn State. He was the Nittany Lions’ backup for two seasons before searching for a starting spot elsewhere, which led him to Missouri and now Virginia.
Pribula’s Journey Through the Transfer Portal
Pribula’s path hasn’t exactly been a straight line. He entered the transfer portal in December 2024, leaving Penn State just before their College Football Playoff semifinal run.
At Missouri, he started 10 games and put up 1,941 passing yards with 11 touchdowns. He also rushed for 297 yards and six scores.
A knee injury sidelined him for part of the season, but he showed flashes as a dual-threat quarterback. After re-entering the portal in December 2025, Pribula picked Virginia over programs like Tennessee and Georgia Tech.
His arrival is timely for the Cavaliers, who went 11-3 in 2025 but lost quarterback Chandler Morris to eligibility issues. Pribula’s first big test? The Commonwealth Clash against Virginia Tech, now coached by James Franklin—the same coach who once recruited him to Penn State. Funny how things come full circle sometimes.
Kenny Johnson Joins Texas Tech
Former Pittsburgh wide receiver Kenny Johnson, a Dallastown alum, is heading to Texas Tech. Johnson’s move puts him in a spot to be a key guy for the Red Raiders, who just won the Big 12 and reached the CFP quarterfinals in 2025.
With top targets Caleb Douglas and Reggie Virgil graduating, there’s a big opportunity for Johnson to step up. He’ll be lining up with former Auburn wideout Malcolm Simmons.
Johnson’s Impact at Pittsburgh
At Pitt, Johnson became one of the Panthers’ most reliable receivers. He finished 2025 with 48 catches for 695 yards and five touchdowns, building on a strong 2024.
His career totals: 109 catches, 1,354 yards, and nine touchdowns. He also did plenty on special teams, leading the ACC in kick return yards in 2024 and scoring on both a punt and a kickoff return during his time at Pitt.
Ranked No. 485 overall and No. 94 among wideouts in the transfer class by 247Sports, Johnson brings a lot to Texas Tech. His versatility is going to matter as the Red Raiders try for another title run in his last college season.
Jahiem White Reunites with Neal Brown at North Texas
Former West Virginia running back Jahiem White, York High’s all-time rushing leader, is off to North Texas. He’s reuniting with head coach Neal Brown and running backs coach Chad Scott, who originally recruited him to WVU.
North Texas is fresh off a 12-2 season and an American Conference title game appearance. It’s a promising reset for White.
White’s Collegiate Career and Injury Comeback
White made an instant impact at West Virginia, rushing for 842 yards and four touchdowns as a freshman. He followed that up with 845 yards and seven scores as a sophomore.
A knee injury in the second game of the 2025 season shut him down early. Still, he’s highly regarded—No. 40 among running backs in the transfer portal, according to 247Sports.
With two years left after a medical redshirt, White’s looking to get back to top form. His return to Brown and Scott at North Texas could be just what he needs.
Juelz Goff Heads to Boise State
Former Pittsburgh running back Juelz Goff, a Central York alum, is on his way to Boise State. Goff spent two years at Pitt, redshirting as a freshman and then seeing more action in 2025.
He ran for 270 yards and five touchdowns on 69 carries, helping a Panthers squad that finished 8-5.
Goff’s Future at Boise State
Boise State is joining a revamped Pac-12 in 2026, which should be interesting. The Broncos are coming off a 9-5 season and a conference title, with backs Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines both expected back.
Goff, ranked No. 43 among running backs and No. 492 overall in the portal by 247Sports, has three seasons left to make his mark. He could add some real depth to the Broncos’ backfield and give them another option as they gear up for a tougher conference slate.
York-Adams League Alumni Making Waves
The York-Adams League keeps cranking out college talent. Besides Pribula, Johnson, White, and Goff, there’s a bunch of other guys making an impact at the FBS level.
Some names worth mentioning: Maryland offensive linemen Michael Hershey and Michael McMonigle, James Madison wideout Michael Scott, UConn cornerback Saxton Suchanic, and Penn State kicker Matthew Parker.
Upcoming Talent
The league’s talent pipeline just keeps rolling. Three seniors are gearing up to join college teams next season.
York High’s running back, Shavane Anderson, is set for Syracuse. Central York’s quarterback, Brooklyn Nace, will head to Old Dominion.
And Central York wideout Brendyn Smith? He’s taking his skills to Kent State. It’s always exciting to see fresh faces from the York-Adams League stepping up to the collegiate level.
