MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Twelve days before the Mountaineers were set to kick off the season, special teams coordinator Jeff Koonz’s room received the news of a last-minute departure. Redshirt freshman punter/kicker Kaulin Parris tweeted earlier today that he was leaving the WVU program.

The Bluefield, W.Va. native had also been offered a preferred walk-on opportunity at Virginia Tech coming out of high school, but decided to stay in-state and sign his National Letter of Intent in 2019 with the Mountaineers.
