It's been an offseason full of transformation for the West Virginia football roster, as Rich Rodriguez made a haul of changes to the roster. Some players from last year's team just didn't fit, while some thought they would be better off starting fresh elsewhere.

33 scholarship players from last year's team have landed at another school. There are a few others who either haven't picked a new school or have, and it's not reported anywhere. A slew of walk-ons also exited the program, but this breakdown is exclusively centered around the scholarship guys.
