Will Grier. Kyzir White. Tony Fields.
In recent years, West Virginia has benefitted greatly from players looking to take their talents elsewhere. Grier, White and Fields are just a few of many who have come to WVU and made their mark.
However, the transfer portal can also be a cruel mistress. Some players leave West Virginia and go on to have strong collegiate careers, leaving Mountaineer fans with much to be desired.
Below, we take a look at those who have transferred out of the WVU football program to see the success — or struggles — they have seen at their newest homes.
