Locked On West Virginia - Daily Podcast on West Virginia Mountaineers Football & Basketball

#WVU #WVUFootball #Mountaineers This is what setting the tone looks like inside the WVU weight room. Freshman Kevin Brown making this kind of early statement matters. It shows he’s not overwhelmed, not waiting, and not easing into the program. He’s competing — right now — and announcing himself to the coaching staff and locker room from day one. But this isn’t just about one player. Geimere Latimer II represents the standard — power, consistency, and veteran work ethic that defines what West Virginia football expects. Tyler Stolsky shows what buy-in looks like — toughness, discipline, and daily intent that earns respect long before Saturdays arrive. When young talent like Brown is matching the edge set by guys like Latimer and Stolsky, it tells you something important: the culture is being enforced, not inherited. This is how roles are earned. This is how trust is built. This is how WVU prepares to compete.

#WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers West Virginia continues to attack roster needs through the transfer portal, landing Stephen F. Austin safety Kameron Reddic — a versatile, experienced backend defender with two years of eligibility remaining. Reddic brings 21 games of college experience, including 13 starts in 2025, where he played over 540 defensive snaps and graded out as a high-level run defender (76.1 PFF). The Houston native has shown the ability to play free safety, box safety, and slot, filling one of WVU’s biggest remaining roster holes after significant production losses in the secondary. With West Virginia returning limited experience at safety, this addition gives the Mountaineers an immediate contributor who fits exactly what the staff has been targeting: experience, versatility, and proven production. We break down: Why Reddic was such a priority portal target How he fits WVU’s defensive needs right now What his versatility means for the future of the secondary Why this may close the book on safety additions (for now) 🔵🟡 Let’s talk portal impact and what’s next for the Mountaineers. 🔑 Hashtags #WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #TransferPortal #PortalSeason #PortalHaul #WVUFootball #CollegeFootball #Big12 #CFB #LockedOnWVU #LOVWU Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers Ken Kendrick has been one of the biggest names connected to WVU for decades — from academics to athletics, including major investments tied to WVU baseball and the Kendrick Center for an Ethical Economy. But with WVU’s NIL world shifting in-house and Country Roads Trust’s role changing, I’m hearing Kendrick may be stepping back from WVU in a major way. Today we lay out Kendrick’s WVU history, the receipts on what’s been built, what the NIL transition means, and why Mountaineer fans can’t live on a false sense of security.

#WVU #WVUFootball #Mountaineers With seven home games, a neutral-site matchup in Charlotte that WVU fans always dominate, and a front-loaded slate that allows a revamped roster to build momentum, the Mountaineers finally have something they haven’t had in years: a realistic path forward. We break down why this schedule matters under Rich Rodriguez in Year 2, how trench upgrades and portal depth raise the ceiling, and why the back half of the schedule might not be nearly as intimidating as national perception suggests.

#WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers West Virginia continues to reload its defense through the transfer portal, landing Coastal Carolina defensive end Ezekiel Durham-Campbell — one of the most productive and disruptive pass rushers available this cycle. Durham-Campbell comes to Morgantown after an all-conference season in the Sun Belt, where he posted 42 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, and finished near the top of the league in total pressures. At 6-foot-5, 247 pounds, he brings length, power, and real pass-rush juice to a defensive front that needed proven production. This is a major addition for Zac Alley’s defense. Durham-Campbell offers true versatility, having lined up at defensive end, edge, and outside linebacker, giving WVU flexibility in how it deploys pressure packages in 2026. With almost all of last season’s pass-rush production gone, this is the type of experienced, battle-tested defender the Mountaineers had to land. WVU beat out a loaded offer list that included Auburn, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Baylor, UCF, and more — and now adds a one-year, high-impact piece to a defensive room that is wide open. What does this mean for WVU’s defensive line rotation? Where does Durham-Campbell fit immediately? And is this another sign that Zac Alley’s unit is taking a real step forward? Let’s break it all down. #WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #WVUFootball #LockedOnWVU #TransferPortal #CollegeFootball #CFB #PortalSeason #DefensiveLine #EdgeRusher #PassRush #ZacAlley #Big12 #SunBelt #MountaineerNation Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#WVU #WestVirginiaFootball #Mountaineers West Virginia fans know this feeling — when a commitment doesn’t light up the recruiting sites, but everything about the player feels right. This is one of those additions. Rich Rodriguez didn’t chase buzz. He chased production, toughness, and a football player who has shown — over and over — that when the ball is in his hands, points follow. No gimmicks. No projection-heavy nonsense. Just results. This is the kind of player WVU has won with before. Overlooked. Productive. Competitive. And built for the grind of the Big 12. The ratings don’t tell the story. The film does. The numbers do. And Rich Rod trusting his eyes should have Mountaineer fans feeling very good about where this is headed. Quiet addition. Real value. The type of guy who makes people say later, “How did everyone miss that?” Welcome to Morgantown. #WVU #WestVirginiaFootball #Mountaineers #RichRod #WVURecruiting #CollegeFootball #Big12Football #Underrated #FootballPlayer #LockedOnWV #MountaineerNation #TrustTheFilm #CountryRoads West Virginia University fans will be excited about this new recruit!

#WVU #Mountaineers #LockedOnWV West Virginia just made a MAJOR statement on the recruiting trail. The Mountaineers land three huge commitments in Haastrup, Bradford, and Rawlison, beating out national programs like Oregon and LSU in the process. This isn’t just depth — this is elite, Power-conference talent choosing Morgantown. What does this say about Rich Rodriguez, the staff, NIL momentum, and WVU’s national footprint? Why is West Virginia suddenly winning battles against blue-blood programs? And how do these additions immediately raise the ceiling of the defense?

#colorado #big12 #mountaineers West Virginia just sent a message to the rest of the Big 12. In a massive win over Colorado, the Mountaineers didn’t just protect home court — they made a statement, and the heartbeat of it all was Treyson Eaglestaff, who turned in his best performance as a Mountaineer. From the opening tip, Eaglestaff played with confidence, control, and edge. He was aggressive offensively, decisive with the ball, and fearless attacking gaps. Whether it was knocking down timely shots, finishing through contact, or making the extra play when the defense collapsed, he looked completely comfortable in gold and blue — like a guy who has officially arrived. What stood out most was his poise. Colorado threw different looks at him, tried to speed him up, tried to body him, and it didn’t matter. Eaglestaff stayed composed, trusted his game, and delivered every time WVU needed a bucket or a momentum swing. This wasn’t just production — this was impact basketball. Defensively, the effort matched the moment. West Virginia brought the physicality, the energy, and the toughness that fans expect, and Eaglestaff was right in the middle of it. Active hands, smart positioning, and a willingness to battle on both ends helped fuel a performance that felt different — louder, sharper, and more confident. This win matters. Beating Colorado in this fashion strengthens WVU’s Big 12 résumé and reinforces the identity this team is building. And performances like this from Eaglestaff raise the ceiling moving forward. If this is the version of Treyson Eaglestaff West Virginia is getting down the stretch, the Mountaineers just became a much more dangerous team — and the rest of the conference should take notice. Huge win. Big-time performance. And maybe the start of something even bigger in Morgantown. #colorado #big12 #mountaineers #collegebasketball #wvu #westvirginia Locked On West Virginia celebrates a Mountaineers victory over Colorado.

#WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers West Virginia’s transfer portal class is being ranked near the bottom of the Big 12 — and the more you dig into it, the less sense it makes. WVU added 27 transfers, upgraded the offensive line, addressed multiple roster weaknesses, and brought in players with real college production — yet the national portal rankings tell a very different story. So why is WVU being overlooked? In this episode of Locked On West Virginia, I break down why portal rankings are flawed, how star-chasing distorts reality, and why WVU’s approach was about building a functional football team — not winning a January popularity contest. Call it low-ranked if you want. On the field, this class is going to matter. #WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #WVUFootball #TransferPortal #PortalRankings #Big12 #CollegeFootball #CFB #LockedOnWVU #NCAAFootball Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers Former West Virginia running back Tye Edwards (6’2”, 225 lbs) has officially entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, and there’s more to this decision than just football. Edwards flashed massive upside in limited action for WVU, most notably in the Backyard Brawl vs Pitt, where he erupted for 141 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries, helping fuel an overtime comeback win. Unfortunately, that game also resulted in a season-ending injury, stalling what looked like a potential breakout year in Morgantown. After attempting to return later in the season against BYU, Edwards’ future at WVU became murky — especially with eligibility questions tied to his time at the junior college level. Edwards may pursue an additional year through an appeal connected to the Diego Pavia eligibility lawsuit, but that process remains unresolved. Behind the scenes, I’m told NIL negotiations played a role, with Edwards feeling low-balled in the NIL space, despite his proven résumé. That résumé includes: NJCAA First Team All-American (Hutchinson CC) NJCAA National Champion & Title Game MVP 1,047 rushing yards at Northern Iowa (2024) Multiple All-Conference honors at the FCS level In this episode, we break down: Why Tye Edwards is leaving WVU How much NIL likely factored into the decision His eligibility outlook What WVU’s running back room looks like moving forward And why Edwards could be a major portal addition for the right program 🔒 Subscribe for daily West Virginia Mountaineers coverage 🎙 Hosted by Mountaineer Paul 🔑 Hashtags #WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #TransferPortal #CollegeFootball #NIL #PortalSZN #Big12 #LockedOnWV #CFB #RunningBack #NCAA Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers West Virginia has already put together a large transfer portal class, but the work isn’t finished. According to a source, WVU is expected to host several transfer portal visitors over the next few days, signaling that the Mountaineers are still actively evaluating ways to strengthen the roster before the next phase of the offseason. In this episode of Locked On West Virginia, we break down: The positions WVU has already addressed through the portal Where the roster may still need reinforcements Why the coaching staff continues to bring in portal visitors What to watch for as these visits take place The transfer portal never truly closes — and WVU’s staff is still working. 🎙️ Locked On West Virginia Your daily podcast covering the West Virginia Mountaineers. 🔗 HASHTAGS #WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #TransferPortal #PortalSZN #Big12 #CollegeFootball #WVUSports #LockedOnWVU #CFB Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#transferportal #big12 #wvu Jahiem White’s transfer to North Texas sparked questions about whether WVU “pushed him out.” The reality is more complicated — and far more common. Today, we break down how White’s situation mirrors dozens of other Mountaineer portal departures, why many remain uncommitted or landed at lower levels, and what it says about how West Virginia is operating in the modern college football economy. #transferportal #big12 #wvu #mountaineers #collegefootball #mountaineers #NorthTexas #Arkansas Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#WVUFootball #WestVirginia #Mountaineers West Virginia has landed a commitment out of the transfer portal at a position of need, adding Mississippi State tight end Cam Ball to the roster. Ball, a 6-foot-7, 250-pound tight end, spent the last two seasons with the Bulldogs, appearing in 24 games primarily as a blocker and special teams contributor. During his time at Mississippi State, Ball hauled in two receptions for 12 yards while being used predominantly in the run game and inline blocking roles. Before his stop in the SEC, Ball spent two seasons at Buffalo. After redshirting, he played in 10 games with six starts, recording eight receptions for 62 yards. The Maryland native has logged over 500 offensive snaps at the college level and brings valuable experience to a West Virginia tight end room that needed immediate help. Ball took an official visit to Morgantown on January 10 and has one year of eligibility remaining. He becomes the second tight end commitment for the Mountaineers out of the transfer portal, joining former Clemson tight end Josh Sapp as WVU works to stabilize and add experience to the position group. In this episode of Locked On West Virginia, we break down Cam Ball’s role, usage, fit in the offense, and what this addition means for the Mountaineers heading into the 2026 season.

#WVUFootball #LockedOnWVU #Mountaineers Scotty Fox Jr. is officially returning to West Virginia, and that decision immediately reshapes the Mountaineers’ quarterback room heading into next season. With Fox back in Morgantown and Oklahoma transfer Michael Hawkins Jr. arriving with real intrigue and upside, WVU now faces a legitimate quarterback competition that could define the offseason and beyond. This episode breaks down what Fox’s return means for the program, how Hawkins fits into the picture, and why this battle might be exactly what West Virginia needs at the most important position on the field. Is experience the deciding factor? Does upside win out? Or does competition elevate everyone involved? We’ll look at the paths for both quarterbacks, what each brings to the table, and how this situation positions WVU moving forward — not just for Week 1, but for the future of the program.

#HailWV #WVUFootball #MountaineerNation Mountaineer Nation — today didn’t just add names… it sent a message. West Virginia attacked its biggest weaknesses head-on: offensive line, edge rush, receiver depth, and special teams. With Carsten Casady landing in Morgantown and Cameron Griffin adding toughness and versatility up front, WVU is finally building the foundation it’s lacked. On defense, Harper Holloman brings real pressure production — not promise — to the edge, a piece this defense has needed. At wide receiver, John Neider gives the Mountaineers a reliable, experienced playmaker who can make contested catches and move the chains. And special teams? Bryan Hansen instantly upgrades a unit that’s lost far too many games in the shadows. This isn’t just roster building — this is statement building. Questions remain. Expectations are massive. And one thing is sure — fans should be talking. #HailWV #WVUFootball #MountaineerNation #TransferPortal #Big12Football #PortalDay #OffensiveLine #Defense #SpecialTeams #FanDrama #BigQuestions #RiseUpWV Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It’s not just star chasing — it’s roster building the right way. In this episode of Locked On West Virginia, we break down every single portal addition, why they fit the system, how quickly they can contribute, and what this class says about the direction of the program moving forward.
