Wildcards
*WR Kris Abrams-Draine (Ole Miss commit).
With the recent news of West Virginia wide receiver taget Douglas Emilien committing to Minnesota, paired with the firing of Ole Miss head coach Matt Luke, this might be an option for Neal Brown's staff to look at. I spoke with Abrams-Draine and he informed me that he is "weighing all options" and is still interested in West Virginia. At the time I spoke with him, the staff had not reached out to him. It is unclear if they will attempt to pursue him.
