Players Still on West Virginia's Roster Entering the Final Day of the Transfer Portal

WVU is one day away from locking in a bulk of its 2026 roster.

As of this writing on Friday morning, there are only 55 names showing on the 2026 West Virginia football roster. Don't freak out. The other 50+ names expected to be on the team next fall will be there in the coming days.

In all likelihood, they (WVU) are waiting until the transfer portal closes to fully update the roster, knowing that those who are signed are 100% coming to Morgantown. It would be a pretty big waste of time to create all of those player profiles, and for whatever reason, a few of them don't make it to campus.

Already two members of the 2026 early signing period class — P Chase Ridley and DL KJ Gillespie — have requested release from their National Letter of Intent, so things can still happen. West Virginia needs to have its roster at the 105 mark, and depending on what their final plans are in the transfer portal, they may bump a few guys out today to make room, that is if it's necessary.

A handful of transfers and the entire early signing class are not currently listed, although many of them are already on campus and participating in winter workouts.

Here's a position-by-position look at who is currently listed on the official roster.
