Mountaineer wide receiver Sam James is staying loyal to the WVU football program and the state of West Virginia. James is one of the few West Virginia players that was with the program before head coach Neal Brown arrived, and he and many of his teammates have remained faithful throughout all the changes they’ve seen.
The WVU offense will rely on the experience and production of James and fellow receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton this season. They will also provide stability for new offensive coordinator Graham Harrell and new quarterbacks JT Daniels and Nicco Marchiol.
