Another former Mountaineer is headed to Huntington.

Wide receiver Christian Hamilton becomes the latest West Virginia Mountaineer to officially be a one-and-done in Morgantown.

Hamilton announced his commitment to Marshall on Wednesday, making him the third former WVU player to join the Herd this offseason, alongside offensive linemen Xavier Bausley and Robby Martin.

Hamilton came to West Virginia by way of North Carolina a year ago, seeking a bigger role, but was never really able to make a big enough impression to see legit playing time. He did see some action down the final stretch of the season, but hauled in just two catches for 25 yards.

The Harrisburg, PA native will have two years of eligibility remaining.
