Kymora Johnson has withdrawn her name from the transfer portal and will return to Virginia for the 2026-27 season. This move comes amid Virginia’s coaching transition and the arrival of Aaron Roussell as head coach. This update was reported by multiple outlets on April 16, 2026. [citation needed]

Other Virginia players also moved in ways that affected roster dynamics (for example, Olivia McGhee reportedly withdrawing and re-committing to UVA), which aligns with the program’s new leadership shaping the roster. [citation needed]
