Two years ago, I created Version 1.0 of the breakdown of the scholarship situation at WVU and the outgoing (and incoming) transfers. With Neal Brown fired, the portal immediately open, and players already leaving, it’s time to start a new edition of the Transfer and Scholarship Tracker. It will be your one-stop shop for the most complete picture of every position group on the WVU Football team.
Here’s what to expect below….
Please note that, with this tracker, all eligibility discussion is about the 2025 season. Sure, there are some we can assume will not be back but, for this exercise, everyone is back until they say otherwise.
1:00pm ET on 12/2/2024: Neal Brown has been fired. There have been multiple decommitments from the high school recruiting class – two apiece in 2025 and 2026 – and the first transfer has already been announced in Josiah Jackson. Shortly after that, safety Raleigh Collins and offensive lineman Bryce Biggs followed suit.
