WVU receiver Sam Brown enters the NCAA transfer portal

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia redshirt freshman wide receiver Sam Brown is leaving the Mountaineer football program after playing in nine games over two seasons.

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound wideout from Savannah, Ga. caught 8 passes for 92 yards in 7 games in his true freshman season. This fall, Brown appeared in just two games. He caught two passes for sixteen yards against Long Island.

Brown entered the WVU program as a three-star recruit. He originally committed to UCF prior to signing with the Mountaineers. Brown is one of seven scholarship players to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal since the beginning of the 2021 regular season. Safety Kerry Martin, defensive lineman Darel Middleton, running back A’Varius Sparrow, linebacker James Thomas, linebacker Devell Washington and bandit Eddie Watkins previously announced their decisions to transfer.
