Former freshman All-America selection and three-year starting linebacker Tony Fields II is bound for Morgantown. The Arizona transfer announced his verbal commitment to join the Mountaineers Monday evening on his Twitter site. Fields will be reunited with WVU cornerbacks coach and co-defensive coordinator Jahmile Addae. Addae recruited the Las Vegas native to Arizona in 2017. Fields is the second Arizona defensive player to transfer to WVU this offseason. Safety Scottie Young has arrived in Morgantown and is practicing with the Mountaineers. Fields has been an every-game starter for three seasons with the Wildcats. He earned Freshman All-America honors in 2017 from ESPN.com and 247 Sports. He has racked up 287 tackles, 8.5 sacks and a pair of interceptions in 37 career games at Arizona. - WV Metro News

West Virginia University football coach Neal Brown has said he wants to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to upcoming name, image and likeness legislation from the NCAA. He'll continue that quest as the Mountaineers are the first football team to use a new program. WVU announced Thursday that it is part of the pilot program for an NIL data services offering from company INFLCR (pronounced "influencer"). Several NCAA teams have signed on to the pilot program, including teams at North Carolina, Kentucky and Marquette, but WVU is the first football team involved. The data services program is the first component of INFLCR's NIL Suite. Brown has a history with INFLCR. When he was at Troy in 2017, his football team became the company's third client. That relationship moved as Brown moved from Troy to WVU. "Our mission is really the 'why' of our program," Brown said in an interview on the INFLCR website, "and that's to serve and develop what we call total Mountaineers. INFLCR has helped us serve and develop our players. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

07/29/20 - JaQuay Hubbard, rSr/2025, West Virginia, 6-5, 325 (DS#79 OT) + More +

Neal Brown's never-ending quest to add players in "creative" ways continued Monday afternoon, as West Virginia football secured yet another transfer for the program. Former University of Virginia offensive lineman Ja'Quay Hubbard pledged to the Mountaineers, doing so less than three weeks after he initially announced he was entering the transfer portal. Hubbard is no stranger to WVU recruitniks. Originally from Sharpesville, Pennsylvania, Hubbard was a target for the previous coaching staff in the 2019 recruiting class. He twice came to Morgantown on unofficial visits, but eventually committed to the Cavaliers. When he entered the portal earlier this month, the new staff - led by offensive line coach Matt Moore - reached out and invited him for a virtual visit. That "trip" helped secure his decision, although Hubbard had plenty of reasons for picking WVU. - Charleston Gazette-Mail

As the 2020 season approaches, Stills will be the face of the WVU program, an NFL draft prospect who will be looked upon as a leader not just of the defense, but of the entire team. He's already leading by example. After seven sacks and 14 1/2 tackles for loss as a junior, every other Big 12 team will have Stills at the top of its game plan. It's a resume that earned him spots on the watch lists for the Bednarik and Lott IMPACT awards, and it is likely he'll see his name on more watch lists in the future.

The rest of the WVU defense needs to follow his lead. West Virginia tied for 73rd in scoring defense (28.8 points allowed per game), finished 69th in rushing defense (159.4 yards allowed per game), and finished 88th in passing defense (239.9 yards allowed per game). Stills and younger brother Dante made up nearly half of the Mountaineers' 33 sacks last season, combining for 14. On top of that, two other key members of last year's defense - defensive backs Keith Washington and Hakeem Bailey - are now on NFL rosters. - Charleston Gazette-Mail
