West Virginia Gains Portal Pledge from Ex-Coastal Carolina Defensive Lineman

Coastal Carolina defensive lineman Ezekiel Durham-Campbell (6'5", 243 lbs) has just announced his commitment to West Virginia, giving the Mountaineers more depth up front.

The Atlanta, Georgia, native spent the first two years of his career at Louisiana Tech before following his defensive coordinator, Jeremiah Johnson — a name WVU considered a year ago before hiring Zac Alley — to Coastal Carolina.

In his only season with the Chants, Durham-Campbell totaled 42 tackles, eight tackles for loss. 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two passes defended.

Durham-Campbell will have one year of eligibility remaining.
