West Virginia Depth Chart Released Ahead of Houston Matchup

The West Virginia Mountaineers (2-6, 0-5) are on the road to take on the Houston Cougars (7-1, 4-1) on Saturday. Kickoff is set for Noon EST and the action will broadcast on FS1.

West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez released this week’s depth chart, adding redshirt sophomore receiver Christian Hamilton at the Z behind Justin Smith-Brown and Preston Fox.

Redshirt junior Donovan Haslam made his first of the season last week against TCU and the 346-pounder may have earned the start this week, although it does not reflect the two-deep but is the potential starter with Walter Young Bear with ‘OR’ between the two guards.

Redshirt junior Jordan Walker is still listed at safety with Darrian Lewis. However, Walker suffered a broken arm on Saturday in his first start of the season.

Although quarterback Scotty Fox Jr. has started the last two games and broke freshman records in passing yards (301) and completions (28) against TCU, he is remains listed as the possible starter with redshirt freshman Khalil Wilkins and redshirt junior Max Brown.

The depth is subject to change following the week of practice.
