A Pair of Mountaineer Offensive Linemen Enter the NCAA Transfer Portal

West Virginia University offensive linemen Brandon Homady and Mickel Clay entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Monday, according to Keenan Cummings of Rivals/On3.

Homady appeared in 11 games last season for the Mountaineers as a true freshman, providing depth along the offensive front. The Cleveland, Ohio, native arrived in Morgantown after a decorated prep career at Padua Franciscan High School, where he earned All–North Coast Conference First Team and All–Northeast Lakes District honors as a senior.

Clay saw action in four games last season for West Virginia and brings a more extensive starting background from his previous stops. Prior to transferring to WVU, Clay played at North Alabama, where he developed into a reliable presence at right tackle.

In 2024, Clay started all 12 games at right tackle for the Lions, allowing just three sacks on the season. As a sophomore in 2023, he appeared in eight games with three starts at the same position, and as a freshman in 2022, he played in nine contests along the offensive line. Clay began his collegiate career at DuPage College during the 2020–21 seasons before moving to the FCS level.

West Virginia has signed five offensive lineman during the portal window - OL Devin Vass (Kansas State), OL Cameron Griffin (Jacksonville State), OL Carsten Casady (UCONN), OL Amare Grayson (Jacksonville State), OL Wes King (Wyoming).
