The redshirt freshman wide receiver saw time in seven games during the 2020 season and put up eight catches for 92 yards. This came after de-committing from UCF and opting for head coach Neal Brown’s Mountaineer program late in the recruiting process.

When he returned this season, his stat sheet showed a different result. He’s only charted two receptions for 16 yards thus far, all in the same game: the 66-0 Long Island win in Week 2. Firmly seeded as a third-string wide out behind both a freshly-injured Isaiah Esdale and Sean Ryan, Brown is seeking greener pastures away from West Virginia University. He’ll have three more seasons of eligibility to utilize elsewhere.

2020 3-star WR Sam Brown has entered the transfer portal after totaling 10 rec for 108 yards while playing in 9 games at West Virginia; 2 rec for 16 yards this fall @rivalsmike @rivalskeenan @WVSportsDotCom https://t.co/DXpPHIaAhg
