West Virginia looking for pieces to emerge at WR

West Virginia has options at wide receiver – but they have to prove they’re up to the task. The Mountaineers lost all four of their top pass catchers from last season with Bryce Ford-Wheaton and Sam James electing to enter the 2023 NFL Draft then Kaden Prather and Reese Smith entering the transfer portal with eligibility remaining in their careers. In terms of actual production, the wide receiver room lost 179 catches, 2,126 yards and 17 touchdowns which is 85-percent of the total catches, 87-percent of the yards and 89-percent of the scores at the position last year leaving some massive opportunities behind for those on the roster.
