Running Back Lamy Constant Decommits from West Virginia

Yesterday, class of 2020 running back Lamy Constant (Brooklyn, NY) announced that he would be decommitting from West Virginia and re-opening his recruitment.

This comes as a complete shock as Constant committed to the Mountaineers just a little under a month ago.

Thank you for the love. Unfortunately there was miscommunication and a misunderstanding on both my part and the coaches. I thank them for their interest and the WV fans for their love.

It's unclear as to why Constant had miscommunication with the coaching staff, but this is a big loss for the 2020 class. He originally committed to West Virginia over LSU, Michigan State, Texas A&M and several others.

Adding depth at the running back position is something Neal Brown said that would be addressed this off-season. The team loses Kennedy McKoy to graduation and will return Martell Pettaway (Sr./took redshirt in 2019), Leddie Brown (So.), Alec Sinkfield (r-So.) and Tony Mathis (Fr.). I would fully expect the staff attempts to still bring in another back in this recruiting cycle.

A name that might be a candidate to replace Constant's spot at running back is La'damian Webb (Jones County JC).
