West Virginia picked up two more verbal commitments on back-to-back days when cornerback Nana Kveremeh and running back Torry Clayton decided to become Mountaineers.

The 3-star prospect chose the Mountaineers over offers from Boston College, Northwestern, Akron, Toldeo, and others. He was also receiving interest from Cincinnati, Michigan, Wake Forest, and Notre Dame. In the end it came down to WVU and Boston College, but eventually he decided Morgantown was the place for him....

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen is looking to put together a defensive staff to fill the vacant spots left by Jeff Casteel, David Lockwood, and Bill Kirelawich. Several names have been thrown around over the last couple of weeks, but it’s becoming clear who his real targets are. According to reports, it’s basically a done deal that Joe DeForest (former associate head coach/special teams coach/safeties coach for Oklahoma State) will be joining the WVU staff. An official announcement has not been made, but he has resigned from...
If this West Virginia football program needs a little extra motivation heading into next season, they need to look no further than the latest USA Today Coaches Poll. When the polls were released late last night, one of the first things that Mountaineer fans immediately realized was that somehow, someway WVU is still ranked behind ACC bridesmaid Virginia Tech. West Virginia finished at #18 while VT finished one spot ahead at #17. Let me get this straight, we finish 10-3 and VT finishes 11-3,...
