On Wednesday morning, the West Virginia Mountaineers released an updated football depth chart for the first time since August 3. For the most part, everything stayed the same, but there was one major shakeup in the secondary. Redshirt senior Antonio Crawford has surpassed Nana Kyeremeh at the starting corner spot opposite of Rasul Douglas.
In addition to Crawford moving into the projected starting lineup, Toyous Avery surpassed Khairi Sharif as the backup to Dravon Askew-Henry at free safety, Mike Daniels and Maurice Fleming were added as third-string corners and Ricky Rogers and Marcus Simms switched positions as Rogers moved to third-string "X" receiver and Simms to the third-string "Z" receiver spot. Also, true freshman punter Jonn Young was added to the depth chart as the second-string punter, but he's currently in a battle with Billy Kinney for the starting job.
Here’s the updated depth chart as of today, August 10:
