West Virginia’s already depleted defensive backfield took another hit earlier today, as redshirt senior safety Jake Long announced his decision to enter the transfer portal.
I have made the decision to enter the transfer portal and weigh my options on where I will finish the last year of my football career. Thank you to everyone who helped me at wvu and throughout my time in college. Thank you to the fans for all the love you guys have showed me.

After redshirting as true freshman and missing his entire redshirt sophomore season with a wrist injury, Long primarily added depth to the West Virginia secondary.
