MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Skyler Simcox, a kicker who connected on 16-of-22 field goals for Western Kentucky last season, announced he intends on transferring to West Virginia and will enroll in January.
The 6-foot junior will have two seasons of eligibility remaining after starting his career at Division III Emory & Henry, where he made 9-of-11 kicks as a freshman, including two 48-yarders.
Kicking guru Mike McCabe announced via Twitter that Simcox had accepted a scholarship offer from the Mountaineers.
During Simcox’s lone season at Western Kentucky, he made a 50-yard kick against Houston Baptist and a 52-yarder against Middle Tennessee.
