Tirek Austin-Cave Transfers to New Mexico

Last month, West Virginia linebacker Tirek Austin-Cave opted to enter his name into the transfer portal after spending two seasons in Morgantown.

The former Miami Hurricane transfer recorded just four tackles during his time as a Mountaineer, primarily serving as a member of the special teams unit and as a depth piece at linebacker. Austin-Cave battled the injury bug over the last twelve months which played a part in his ability to get on the field and make an impact.

Monday evening, Austin-Cave announced on X that he will be transferring to New Mexico where he will have two years of eligibility remaining.
