WVU had 2 more football guys enroll safety Daejuan Funderburk and a 4 star running back Donte Thomas-Williams. Williams may redshirt because there are 5 guys who could start or have started in front of him right now. Coaches think Funderburk has a chance to play right away as a 2nd team safety and coverage guy on special teams.
If you are counting, that leaves just a few guys missing but hopefully they arrive soon. WVU had to beat out some good schools to sign these guys.
1. DE Shaquille Reddick –FCS All-American. Trying to graduate on August 3 to transfer from Gardner Webb. It looks like he has already moved to Morgantown but cannot workout with the team yet.
2. CB/S Jaylon Myers – JUCO All-American. (LSU, Georgia, Florida)
3. WR Jacob McCrary (Ohio St., Florida St, Auburn)
4. OL/DL Dontae Angus (Florida, Purdue, Rutgers)
5. OT Justin Scott – JUCO (Washington St., Marshall, Cinci)
I caught a show on ESPN that showed 2 rival high schools that had to merge due to budget cuts in Philadelphia. Angus wanted to get out of Philly with his sights on getting to the NFL like another player who got out of the city and now plays for Minnesota. Angus appeared to be a boy in a man's body. During the show, he walked out on his team and it took the guy he idolized to pay him a visit. The visit was arranged by an assistant coach who personally knew the Viking player. It appeared that Angus got his head back on straight by the end of the season; however, not sure if he will resort back to his old ways.
At the beginning of the show, he had a scholarship from Florida; however, it was pulled by Florida (I believe due to grades). At the end of the show it showed where he had committed to WVU. Hopefully he still has the proper attitude. At the high school level, he is a good player when focused. What that transfers to at the next level, only time will tell.
