Former WVU WR Traylon Ray Taking His Talents to SEC

Traylon Ray is now offering his services to Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss. Three weeks after entering the transfer portal, Ray announced his commitment to the Rebels on Wednesday.

A top 2023 recruit from Tallahassee, Fla., Traylon Ray became an instant contributor since he arrived in Morgantown. As a freshman, Ray caught 18 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns.

Ray moved into a larger role this season, making 28 receptions for 426 yards and four scores before his season was cut short due to an injury against Baylor.

Ray’s standout game as a Mountaineer came in the 2023 Duke’s Mayo Bowl, where he scored a 75-yard touchdown on the first play of the game and finished with a career-high 91 yards.

Ray developed a close friendship with fellow members of former WVU head coach Neal Brown’s 2023 class Rodney Gallagher and Jahiem White, who both decided to stay at West Virginia and play for Rich Rodriguez.
