MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia bandit linebacker VanDarius Cowan is eligible to play against Texas with his four-game NCAA suspension now completed.
“He’ll get heavily evaluated heading into the Texas game,” WVU coach Neal Brown said on Monday’s Big 12 coaches teleconference.
The Mountaineers (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) host the No. 11 Longhorns (3-1, 1-0) on Oct. 5 after an idle week for both teams.
Bandit is a position where defensive coordinator Vic Koenning has repeatedly stated that the Mountaineers need more consistent play. Quondarius Qualls has seen the majority of the snaps, and Koenning has indicated that Qualls has had trouble staying fresh at the end of games as a result.
