On Monday afternoon, news broke that West Virginia running back Jahiem White was planning on entering the transfer portal. White, who was the starting back coming into the season, rushed for 845 yards and seven touchdowns in 2024, earning him All-Big 12 preseason honors heading into the 2025 season. White went down with a season-ending injury in Game 2, but WVU was still planning on having him for 2026.
Plans changed. White isn’t expected to be on the roster in 2026, who was expected to be the starter once again. Then, his replacement for the second half of the season, just hours later, Diore Hubbard announced he’s also planning to enter the portal, too. Hubbard played in eight games and led the team in rushing with 335 yards and four scores.
