West Virginia put the pads on for the first time this spring on Monday, at least those players who are left as it appears another defensive back has left the program. David Vincent-Okoli, the highest-rated player in Neal Brown's 2020 class, was not at practice on Saturday and a source within the football organization confirmed that he is no longer a member of the team. If the one-time four-star recruit, whose services WVU earned when it beat out Maryland and Kentucky, among others, enters the transfer portal he will become the 10th player to take that route since last season. Transfers have weakened WVU's secondary, which last year was ranked the No. 1 against the pass in the country. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

02/19/21 - Leddie Brown, Sr/2022, West Virginia, 6-0, 215 (DS#39 RB) + More +

A native of Wilmington, Delaware, who spent his final prep season at Neumann-Goretti High in Philadelphia, Brown came to WVU in 2018 with a great deal of hype, but it took him a little while to live up to those accolades. He rushed for 446 yards as a true freshman in 2018 but then backslid a bit as a sophomore, netting 367 yards on the ground. With improved blocking in front of him this past season, he became the 27th Mountaineer to eclipse the 1,000-yard barrier, and he did it in a coronavirus-shortened season.

Brown's rushing average of 101.0 yards per game was second-best in the Big 12 last season and 12th among all FBS runners who played in at least eight games. Add in his 202 receiving yards, and Brown was third in the Big 12 in all-purpose yardage (rushing, receiving and returns) with 121.2 per game, which trailed only Iowa State's Breece Hall (146.0 ypg) and Kansas State's Deuce Vaughn (122.1 ypg). Having been at WVU three seasons, Brown reportedly pondered jumping into the NFL pool in 2021, but ultimately decided to return to college for at least one more season. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

"I wanted to go somewhere that can get me to that next level that I want to go," Nester said. "I see what Neal Brown and those guys are putting together up there. I feel like I'd fit in really well there." The 2018 Stydahar Award winner as the state's top prep lineman started in 16 games at Virginia Tech, including 10 during his true freshman season in 2019. - Charleston Gazette-Mail
