WVU's Roster is Made Up of Players From 32 States and Four Countries

I always find it interesting how West Virginia puts together its roster on a yearly basis, and not just the divide of high school talent, JUCO products, or transfers, but also where those players are from.

Pipelines used to be a big deal 8-10 years ago and even more so the further back you go. Now, much of the conversation is centered around how much a player can potentially earn and whether or not they can see the field right away.

Because WVU rarely produces Division I, Power Four talent, the Mountaineers have to go outside of the state. Now, there are 12 West Virginia natives on the 2026 roster, but many of them are essentially walk-ons/scout teamers. Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey used to be recruiting hotbeds for WVU, and while there is still some representation from those areas, there are a few states that have produced more Mountaineers than you would think. Texas, for example, has the third-most with 13. Louisiana is going to become a key part of the recruiting recipe in future years, and the staff already has four Louisianans on the roster.

West Virginia's 115 players come from 32 different states and four countries, including the U.S., of course.
