MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — An inexperienced cornerback who left West Virginia’s football team in January has rejoined the program.
Jordan Adams, a 6-foot redshirt junior from Reisterstown, Md., is back on the roster and back in the mix at a position of desperate need for the Mountaineers.
Three-game starter Hakeem Bailey and converted safety Derrek Pitts, a sophomore from Charleston, exited spring practice as the frontrunners at corner. Juco signee Keith Washington, who began his career at Michigan, also debuted in spring sporting a business-like attitude.
UCLA graduate transfer Denzel Fisher remains committed to West Virginia but unsigned, pending completion of his coursework on the West Coast. A source told MetroNews that Fisher aims to enroll at WVU in August.
While the return of Adams gives the Mountaineers six scholarship cornerbacks, he did not see action in 2017 and played in only four games during 2016. His twin brother Jacquez also left the program in January.
