West Virginia Mountaineers freshman wide receiver Sam James has been named the Newcomer of the Week after his 14 catch, 223 yard performance against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. James, who consistently got behind the Red Raiders defense, has now won the award twice this season. His 14 catches represent the second most in program history, only behind Kevin White’s 16-catch performance against the Texas Longhorns in 2014. James is now tied with Tavon Austin (14 catches, Baylor Bears, 2012) and Stedman Bailey (14 catches, Oklahoma State Cowboys, 2012) in the record books.
