Fall camp is here, and that means it is time for our annual tradition - updated heights and weights on the WVU football roster. Fall camp is here, and that means it is time for our annual tradition - updated heights and weights on the WVU football roster. EerSports was the first site to take a closer look at this, running this piece for years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years.

WVU fall camp preview: Cornerbacks
It's about that time again, which is crazy because it feels like just yesterday I was writing the spring camp previews. Back then, football preparation was taking a backseat to the pending basketball coaching search. This time around, fall camp will be in the spotlight of the WVU sports world. Today we continue the position-by-position preview for preseason camp. The Mountaineers went 9-4 last season, including beating up on UNC in a bowl game that ended with Neal Brown being covered in mayonnaise. West Virginia football enters the 2024 season with significant wind in its sails, so fall camp should be particularly interesting to watch next month. At this current time, there is no media access schedule.

How do you feel about the receivers and the linebackers? Better question: What position doesn't concern you at all? How can WVU generate depth? What's the soundtrack for musical chairs in the defensive backfield? Traylon Ray did what? All that and more is on the way once you press play. (Direct link: HERE)
