WVU football 2024 roster review: Safties
The Mountaineers return a ton of production at the safety spot, and added a Power 5 transfer. One thing the safeties room does not return is its coach, as Dontae Wright left Morgantown to become defensive coordinator at Troy after last season. That leaves WVU co-defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach ShaDon Brown to add the position group to his résumé.

The offense, defense and even special teams have lost starters and key contributors for a little while or a long time over the past few years. Depth has been a problem created by attrition and highlighted when injuries appear, and remember the Mountaineers strained to get to the 85-player scholarship limit before easing their way there this year. But when a player was sidelined, the coaches had to change the lineup, and setbacks for significant Mountaineers sometimes saw a chance in tactics, too.
