McDougle had an excellent freshman season and would have been a huge part of the defense in 2018. He outperformed his short stature and came up big on several occasions.
According to collegefootballtalk.com, there were rumors swirling all offseason about McDougle possibility leaving the WVU football program. Veteran WVU sports reporter Mitch Vingle confirmed the news on Twitter. There doesn’t seem to be a consensus on the reason for the transfer.
McDougle comes from Deerfield Beach, Fla., so the thought of being closer to home may have intrigued him. After all, this was a rough winter in West Virginia and it is still unseasonably chilly for March.
