WVU Football Receives Commitment from Troy Transfer WR DJ Epps

After a brief calmer period, the WVU football staff lands another transfer commit. West Virginia received a commitment from wide receiver DJ Epps on Tuesday afternoon.

Listed at 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, Epps, who comes to West Virginia from Troy, took an official visit to WVU over the weekend.

The Alabama native caught 47 passes for 512 yards and scored five touchdowns in 2025. He also served as Troy’s kick returner at times, totaling 554 yards off 23 returns and a log that went for 79 yards.

Epps was a redshirt in 2022, only took six snaps in 2023 and then appeared in six games as a sophomore in 2024.

In addition to WVU, Epps also spoke with Cincinnati, Kansas and Iowa State after the transfer portal opened on Jan. 2. He was set to visit Cincinnati on Jan. 9 before deciding to lock in with West Virginia.
