West Virginia Releases Depth Chart Ahead of Cincinnati Matchup

West Virginia University head coach Rich Rodriguez released the depth chart ahead of Saturday’s matchup against the Cincinnati Bearcats at Mountaineer Field. Kickoff is scheduled for noon and the action will broadcast on TNT, TruTV and will be streamed on HBO Max.

The depth chart heading into the weekend has one adjustment with Georgia transfer safety Jacorey Thomas listed behind freshman Matt Sieg. It’s the first two-deep appearance after transferring to the program following the season-opener. Thomas Thomas spent rookie minicamp with the Carolina Panthers but did not sign a pro contract with them or any other NFL team. The senior appeared in the previous two games against Arizona and Iowa State.
