WR Jordan McCants Follows Rich Rod to Morgantown | WVU Football All 105

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

A 5-foot-11, 178 pound wide receiver who spent the first three seasons of his college career under Rich Rodriguez and new Mountaineers’ receivers coach Ryan Garrett, Jordan McCants broke into the starting lineup with the Gamecocks during the 2024 season.

Even in a starting role, McCants only hauled in 15 passes last season as the Gamecocks focused on their ground game, ranking second in the nation in rushing yards and third in carries. His usage this season will hinge on how he meshes into the Mountaineers’ receiving room… and how much Rodriguez plans to emphasize the run game.

88 • Jordan McCants, redshirt junior wide receiver

Last year: McCants broke into the lineup under Rich Rodriguez at Jacksonville State, starting 13 games.

Stats: 16 catches for 174 yards across 28 career games.

Camp outlook: McCants is one of three receivers who followed Rodriguez from Jacksonville State to West Virginia. His familiarity with Rodriguez and new wide receivers coach Ryan Garrett, who spent the past three seasons with the Gamecocks, should help him acclimate in Morgantown.

Projected role: Expect McCants to serve as a backup receiver with special teams upside once again.

Accolades, highlights: Despite limited targets, breaking into the starting lineup last season could put McCants on the path for increased playing time in 2025.
