Spring position battle: West Virginia cornerbacks

As spring practice gets rolling in the Big 12, we’re taking a closer look this week at the league’s most interesting position battles. The series concludes today with a preview of West Virginia’s competition at cornerback.

Spring contenders: senior Elijah Battle, senior Mike Daniels, sophomore Hakeem Bailey, sophomore Jordan Adams, sophomore Kevin Williams, redshirt freshman Jacquez Adams, redshirt freshman Jake Long, redshirt freshman Sean Mahone

Summer contenders: senior Corey Winfield, sophomore Fontez Davis

The skinny: West Virginia’s coaching staff found itself in a similarly uncertain situation at corner last spring after Daryl Worley went pro and seniors Terrell Chestnut and Ricky Rumph graduated.
