#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. I’m Mountaineer Paul, and this is Locked On West Virginia. #WVUFootball #LockedOnWVU #Mountaineers #HailWV #CountryRoads #Big12Football #BOOMER #SOONER #boomersooner #mountaineers #collegefootball #SEC #Big12

#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

#WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers LOCKED ON WEST VIRGINIA — EPISODE DESCRIPTION West Virginia is hosting a BIG-TIME group of transfer portal visitors, and the list is loaded with experience, size, and immediate-impact potential on both sides of the ball. Safety Kyeaure Magloire headlines the group after posting 42 tackles, two interceptions, and five pass breakups this past season, bringing length and ball production to a secondary that remains a major focus for the Mountaineers. WVU is also evaluating multiple defenders with versatility and upside in T’Ron Francis, J’Mond Tapp, and Koen Entringer, each offering a different pathway to immediate contributions or depth upgrades. In this episode of Locked On West Virginia, we break down: Why Magloire is a plug-and-play option in the secondary How Francis and Tapp fit WVU’s defensive vision What Entringer brings to special teams stability Where these visits rank in urgency and importance What this visitor weekend says about WVU’s portal strategy moving forward #WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #TransferPortal #CollegeFootball #Big12 #LockedOnWVU #WVUFootball

Texas Tech surges to the top of Big 12 transfer portal rankings, poaching playmakers like Brennan Sorsby from Cincinnati and sparking debate over NIL and facilities advantages. Can Red Raiders’ big-spending approach shake up the conference power dynamic, or will the “Lubbock tax” backfire? Drake Toll and the panel evaluate top transfers, from Michael Hawkins Jr. joining West Virginia’s new quarterback room to Colorado’s shift from chasing blue blood flameouts to proven Group of Five and FCS talent under Deion Sanders. The coaching carousel takes center stage as Utah icon Kyle Whittingham bolts for Michigan, raiding both Utah and BYU’s staffs and leaving the Big 12 reeling. The hosts break down the fallout for Morgan Scalley, Mark Harlan’s hot seat, and whether Michigan will embrace Whittingham’s culture—or repeat the Rich Rodriguez saga. With Oklahoma State’s portal class and Houston’s “get the band back together” strategy, the Big 12 enters an era of rapid transformation.

#big12football #westvirginia #wvufootball 📝 LOCKED ON WEST VIRGINIA DESCRIPTION The transfer portal isn’t just active — it’s out of its dang mind. West Virginia adds ANOTHER wave of talent as Stolsky, Andrew Powdrell, AND Kansas State transfer Devin Vass all commit to the Mountaineers, continuing an offseason that feels less like roster management and more like controlled demolition. And just when you think it might slow down — nope. Former WVU running back Jahiem White is gone, heading to North Texas to reunite with Neal Brown, because the portal never misses a chance to pour gasoline on the fire. This is modern college football: Fast. Ruthless. Emotionally exhausting. In this episode of Locked On West Virginia, we break down: • What Stolsky, Powdrell, and Devin Vass bring to WVU • Why these additions fit exactly what the roster needs right now • How Vass’s move from Kansas State factors into the bigger picture • Why Jahiem White ends up at UNT with Neal Brown • And why this offseason has driven fans completely unhinged No fluff. No calming words. Just the reality of the portal era. The roster is still changing. The portal is still open. And if you’re not mad, excited, or both — you’re doing it wrong. #big12football #westvirginia #wvufootball #westvirginiafootball #mountaineers #kstate #wildcats #kansasstatefootball

#WVU #WestVirginia #Mountaineers 🎙️ Locked On West Virginia – Episode Description West Virginia’s secondary just experienced the full transfer portal dichotomy — a major departure paired with an even bigger addition.

But WVU quickly countered with a huge pickup in former Memphis safety Wilson, a physical, rangy defender with real upside and high-level production traits. On top of that, David Ofogho joins the fold, adding depth, versatility, and competition to a secondary that’s clearly being reshaped with intent — not panic. In today’s episode of Locked On West Virginia, we break down: Why the Curtis Jones Jr departure hurts — but doesn’t cripple WVU What makes Wilson such a massive addition at safety How David Ofogho fits into the rotation Why this isn’t a step back — but a recalibration What this tells us about WVU’s portal strategy moving forward The portal isn’t about keeping everyone — it’s about upgrading the room.
