WVU Safety Enters Transfer Portal

The Mountaineers take another hit from the portal.

Monday evening, West Virginia redshirt freshman Jayvon Thrift announced on Twitter that he will be entering the NCAA transfer portal.

Thrift had a lot of interest from a few Power Five schools when he was being recruited out of Norwin High School in Pittsburgh. He held offers from Indiana, Pitt, and Syracuse along with several other offers from Group of Five schools. However, Thrift surprised some folks by committing to Youngstown State in October of 2018. He decommitted just a couple of months later and walked on at WVU.

Thrift was redshirted in 2019 and did not see any game action in 2020.
