MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Transfer quarterback Will Grier will be eligible to start West Virginia’s season opener against Virginia Tech, signaling an end to his 2015 PED suspension at Florida.
As MetroNews first reported last December, WVU compliance officials expected the NCAA to clear Grier by mid-summer. That news came Tuesday in a jubilant tweet from the athletic department:
While Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen had not commented publicly on the compliance details, he clearly felt comfortable about Grier’s availability by repeatedly letting him run the first-team offense during spring practice.
