Jason Chambers Follows Corners Coach Rod West | WVU Football All 105

All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2025 WVU Football Roster.

Jason Chambers is one of a series of new Mountaineers who followed a coach to West Virginia. Unlike most of the rest, however, he followed cornerbacks coach Rod West rather than head coach Rich Rodriguez.

Chambers, a senior cornerback, played 11 games at Appalachian State in 2024, recording 38 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, a pass breakup and an interception. Pro Football Focus graded the 5-foot-11, 193 pound Chambers as one of the top five cornerbacks in the Sun Belt for his efforts. Prior to his success with North Carolina’s Mountaineers, Chambers spent two seasons at North Carolina Central, earning First Team All-HBCU honors in 2023.

WVU Football had one of the worst pass defenses in the country last season, so transfers like Chambers could play a major role in overhauling the unit in 2025.

23 • Jason Chambers, senior cornerback

Last year: Chambers ranked as one of the top five cornerbacks in the Sun Belt, per PFF.

Stats: The rising senior has 106 tackles, 14 passes broken up and four interceptions across 33 career games.

Camp outlook: Chambers’ ability to adapt to increasing levels of competition throughout his college career adds a layer of intrigue as he prepares for the Power Four game, as does his rapport with new cornerbacks coach Rod West.

Projected role: Playing for a defense that struggled against the pass in 2024, Chambers should see major playing time. In a pass-happy era, teams can’t ever have enough cornerbacks.

Accolades, highlights: Jason Chambers landed on the First Team All-HBCU list for his 2023 season; PFF graded him as a top five cornerback in the Sun Belt in 2024.
