07/31/20 - Darius Stills, Sr/2021, West Virginia, 6-1, 278 (DS#13 DT) + More +   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 (DS#13 DT) Sr/2021 DT Darius Stills, West Virginia News Source: Charleston Gazette-Mail Share/Comment: Here

07/30/20 - Luke Hamilton, rSr/2024, West Virginia, 5-11, 240 (DS#999 FB) + More +   2020 PHIL STEELE/DRAFTSCOUT All-CAA SECOND TEAM: Luke Hamilton, Towson, Soph.,...Hamilton is Towson's primary fullback, playing in all 12 games this past season.

07/30/20 - Deshawn Stevens, rSr/2022, West Virginia, 6-1, 246 (DS#106 ILB) + More +   2020 PHIL STEELE/DRAFTSCOUT All-CAA FIRST TEAM: Deshawn Stevens, Maine, Sr.,...Stevens, also a 2020 HERO Sports Preseason All-American, continues to rake in the honors despite missing the majority of the 2019 season after suffering an injury in Maine's 2019 season opening win over Sacred Heart. Prior to the injury, Stevens represented the Black Bears with selections to hte 2019 STATS FCS Preseason All-American Third Team and preseason All-CAA squad. In 2018, his last full season of competition, Stevens was honored to the All-CAA Second Team and was named a FCS Hero Sports Sophomore All-American after registering 120 tackles, 17.0 for loss, and 9.0 sacks. - Maine Football (DS#106 ILB) rSr/2022 ILB Deshawn Stevens, West Virginia News Source: Maine Football Share/Comment: Here

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 (DS#79 OT) rSr/2025 OT JaQuay Hubbard, West Virginia News Source: Charleston Gazette-Mail Share/Comment: Here

07/28/20 - Tony Fields II, Sr/2021, West Virginia, 6-0, 222 (DS#12 ILB) + More +   Former Arizona Wildcats football standout Tony Fields II has narrowed his list of transfer options to three schools. And he's seeking input on where to go. Fields tweeted his Top 3 schools Sunday night: West Virginia, Texas and Minnesota. He also tweeted out a poll, asking which school he should pick. As of early Monday afternoon, Minnesota led the results with 41.1% of the vote, followed by Texas at 37.2%. West Virginia was at 21.4%. Fields, a graduate transfer, will have one season left to conclude his college career. He eliminated USC, UCLA, Kansas State and Boise State with his Top 3 announcement. - Arizona Republic (DS#12 ILB) Sr/2021 ILB Tony Fields II, West Virginia News Source: Arizona Republic Share/Comment: Here

07/19/20 - Darius Stills, Sr/2021, West Virginia, 6-1, 278 (DS#13 DT) + More +   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 (DS#13 DT) Sr/2021 DT Darius Stills, West Virginia News Source: Charleston Gazette-Mail Share/Comment: Here

07/18/20 - Darius Stills, Sr/2021, West Virginia, 6-1, 278 (DS#13 DT) + More +   The West Virginia University football team earned just one spot on the Big 12 media's preseason all-conference team - but it was a really big spot. On top of being named to the preseason all-conference team, WVU senior defensive lineman Darius Stills was named the Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. The team was selected by Big 12 media members. Stills is the first Mountaineer to earn a preseason player of the year nod since quarterback Will Grier was named the 2018 Preseason Offensive Player of the Year. He is the first WVU defensive player to earn a preseason player of the year selection since the Mountaineers joined the Big 12 for the 2012 season. The Fairmont native and son of former Mountaineer defensive great Gary Stills ended last season in nearly the same place he starts this one. He earned All-Big 12 first-team honors at the end of 2019 after a campaign where he earned a team-best 14 1/2 tackles for loss and tied younger brother Dante Stills for the team lead with seven sacks. Stills also was named to the watch list for the Chuck Bednarik Award, given annually to college football's best defensive player. - Charleston Gazette-Mail (DS#13 DT) Sr/2021 DT Darius Stills, West Virginia News Source: Charleston Gazette-Mail Share/Comment: Here
