West Virginia quarterback Will Grier announced Saturday morning that he will not play for the Mountaineers in the 2018 Camping World Bowl against Syracuse and will focus on preparing for the 2019 NFL draft.
"While we did not win every time we took the field, and I shoulder that responsibility, I can assure you that we tried," Grier said in a statement. "After discussions with Jeanne and my family and after receiving professional input, I have decided not to participate in our upcoming bowl game and focus on preparing myself and my family for what I hope is the next step in our journey.
