Josh Lider, formerly of Western Washington University, is transfering to WVU.

Lider was a second-team Great Northwest Athletic Conference selection and league all-academic honoree last season. He saw action in 11 games and scored 63 points, hitting 10-of-15 field goals and 33-of-37. He punted 39 times for 1,409 yards, an average of 36.1 yards per punt with a long of 51 yards and placed 10 inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

The Vikings dropped football — they were 6-5 and had a pretty good offense last year — so Lider was looking for a home. WVU is looking for a kicker and Lider looks like, at the very least, he’ll be in line to get the job right away. He has one year of eligibility remaining.

Trivia buffs might remember WWU for an old ESPY. Looks like you can have it if you want it.
