Here are the latest newcomers to West Virginia football, and you’ll note three transfers on the list.

In no particular order, Luke Hogan is kicker who used to be bigger and was nevertheless a regarded prospect in 2016. He walked on at Houston and never played. Rashon Lusane played at Morgan State and was actually one of the top wrestling recruits in the nation last year. He chose football and was in 11 games and made 16 tackles for the Bears last year.

And then there’s Nate German, a postgraduate transfer who was a useful multipurpose player for Rice the past few seasons. Who knows what he’ll be asked and allowed to do here, but he was a well-known high school athlete and a quarterback whose star was dulled when he was injured early in his senior year. Think Great American Nate Sowers. (Did anybody get that?)

(Also, Mac Christy did a whole bunch on offense for his high school, where he played for his father, former all-pro center Jeff Christy. Henry Cook had 152 tackles as a senior, his parents are from West Virginia and his mom is a WVU graduate. And Connor Barwis is indeed related to Mike Barwis. The latter is the former’s uncle.)
