Who is missing?

Cheeks is one of four running backs the Mountaineers signed in this past recruiting class, alongside Amari Latimer, Chris Talley, and Lawrence Autry.

Unfortunately, Cheeks' senior season came to an abrupt end when he suffered a torn ACL in mid-October. He initially told me that the projected timeline for him to get back to football activities was late June/early July. I reached out to get an update from him, but have not received a response as of Sunday morning.

WVU obviously felt comfortable with the situation, considering they still signed him two months later. So I'm not sure what the snag is unless his profile just hasn't been added to the roster yet. I will continue working to gather more information on his situation, so stay tuned for an update.

If for whatever reason things fall through, Cheeks could hit up the junior college route for a year to prove himself.

On July 15th last year, Cheeks picked the Mountaineers over offers from Appalachian State, Ball State, Buffalo, Coastal Carolina, Delaware, East Carolina, Kentucky, Liberty, Minnesota, Old Dominion, Pitt, South Florida, Temple, UConn, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, and a few others.
