I’m not sure how many I’ll get done each week, but the only way for me to really know about these teams is to actually do the research so I can be relatively informed when the season hits. So I spent time doing the research this weekend. There are links to everything below so if there isn’t a link, then I didn’t write it, but I always link back to the originator of the content. I wanted to take a quick look at the team: get a feel for the best players; look into their portal class consisted and how they ranked overall; a look at the 2024 recruiting class; and ending on the graphic from Sharp College Football.

West Virginia fills roster needs with transfers on defense
West Virginia needed to address defensive spots across the roster through the transfer portal and the program has accomplished that with some quality additions. In the secondary, Duquesne cornerback transfer Ayden Garnes is a player that the coaching staff got a good look at when they squared off against him this past fall when he recorded 4 tackles and had a pass breakup without allowing a reception in his coverage. That made him a priority when he entered into the portal.
