Walk-On Award Winner Cyrus Traugh Working for Playing Time | WVU Football All 105

All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2026 WVU Football Roster.

Now a redshirt junior, wide receiver Cyrus Traugh grew up in Parkersburg, W.Va. and earned the Randy Moss Award as the top high school receiver in the Mountain State as a senior.

WVU didn’t offer Traugh during his initial recruiting cycle — although new head Rich Rodriguez did from his old position at Jacksonville State — so the 6-foot tall, 196-pound receiver committed to Youngstown State instead. After playing in two games as a reserve in 2023, Traugh broke into the starting lineup and earned FCS Freshman All-American honors with the Penguins in 2024 before making the jump to the Power Four level at West Virginia.

In 2025, Traugh saw action in two games – Robert Morris and Kansas.

Now with the possibility of an increased role, Traugh gives the Mountaineers a quality receiving target with multiple seasons of eligibility remaining.

86 • Cyrus Traugh, redshirt junior wide receiver

Last year: Traugh appeared in two game.

Stats: He did not accumulate statistics when on the field.

Post camp outlook: Traugh won the 2026 Tommy Nickolich Memorial Award for his hard work throughout the spring.

Projected role:  As Rodriguez looks to open up the offense and finds more big plays in 2025, he could offer a chance to an in-state product he’s now been around for over a year and clearly trusts.

Accolades, highlights: An AAA All-State honoree during his senior year of high school, Traugh also earned the Randy Moss Award as the top receiver in the state of West Virginia. Building off that, he picked up FCS Freshman All-American honors at Youngstown State.
