The news of Doege joining the Mountaineers came out a few weeks ago, but the team made the official announcement yesterday. Doege, who previously played for Bowling Green State, will be eligible to play two seasons for WVU.
Former Mountaineer cornerback Aaron Beasley and former WVU head coach Jim Carlen have been selected to be on the next ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame. Beasley became a one-time All-American and a two-time All-Big East player through his tremendous defense and great ability to snag interceptions in the 1990’s. Carlen coached the Mountaineers in the late 1960’s and led the team to three winning seasons in his four years with WVU.
