Charles Sims might make for an interesting ambassador for WVU when the Big 12 gathers for its media days in two weeks.

Though he’s not on the roster and we haven’t seen an official proclamation announcing his arrival, he’s enrolled at WVU and able to participate in the summer stuff that’s been going on for weeks now.

And today the West Virginia running back was named to the Maxwell Award watch list. That’d be a nomination for college player of the year. These watch lists mean very little, but on July 8, it means one of the 76 best players in the country is at WVU.
