Sophomore wide receiver Sean Ryan will be eligible to play for West Virginia this season after the NCAA granted him immediate eligibility.

READ - PFF Review: Sean Ryan

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Ryan was named wide receiver of the year in his conference and helped Erasmus Hall High School to a 44-8 record in four seasons.

Standing at 6-foot-3, Ryan brings length to West Virginia’s receiving corps and has stood out over the course of fall camp at the wide receiver position with his big frame and ball skills on the outside.

Ryan will have four years to play three.
