WVU Football awaits clarity on Chambers, Barrick added to staff
August 14, 2026
WVU Football could soon find out if one of its most experienced defenders will have another opportunity to take the field for the Mountaineers. Head coach Rich Rodriguez said Friday that he expects more clarity next week on the eligibility status of several players. This Jason Chambers, who started for West Virginia a season ago and could provide an experienced addition to the roster if he is cleared to play....
We have entered the late stages of Tale 2.0, with the focus this week centered on the Week 11 matchup between WVU Football and Kansas. The Jayhawks return to Morgantown after last playing at Milan Puskar Stadium in 2024. WVU leads the all-time series, 11-3, with recorded history dating back to 1941. When the contest is held in the Mountain State, the Mountaineers fare even better (7-1).
With the football season quickly approaching and fall camp back in session, we are finally starting to get a better look at what this West Virginia football team could be. There is a pretty clear understanding of what needs to happen for the 2026 season to be successful. The Mountaineers will rely heavily on transfers and experienced players. That’s modern-day college football.
