Earlier this week, WVU football head coach Rich Rodriguez followed up on his threats to add more running backs through the transfer portal to address depth concerns at the running back position.
With transfer addition Jaylan Knighton now unable to play for the Mountaineers this season and another transfer, Tye Edwards, still awaiting eligibility, Rodriguez has been vocal about needing to add to the position group. On Wednesday night, one such addition was made as the West Virginia Mountaineers earned a commitment from JUCO transfer Tyler Jacklich.
Congrats to Merced College and MJC running back Tyler Jacklich (Central Catholic) and his scholarship to the University of West Virginia!
