West Virginia cornerback Mumu Bin-Wahad announces plan to enter transfer portal

The NCAA transfer portal won’t truly open for business until Dec. 5 but dozens of players around the country have already announced their decisions to enter following the season. Add West Virginia cornerback Mumu Bin-Wahad‘s planned transfer portal entry to the list.

The freshman cornerback had played in five games so far this season for the Mountaineers.

“I would like to thank the coaches for recruiting me,” Bin-Wahad wrote on his Twitter account. “With that being said I plan to enter the transfer portal with 3 1/2 yards of eligibility left.”

Bin-Wahad was a 5-foot-10, 179-pound prospect from Atlanta.

He had appeared in five games this eason, recording four tackles during his first season in college. But he’ll seek an opportunity elsewhere once he can enter his name into the NCAA transfer portal without having to sit out a year in residence.

“I would first like to thank the man above without him nothing is possible,” Bin-Wahad wrote. “To my brothers, I can’t thank y’all enough for welcoming me and showing me how to do things. I’m forever grateful for you guys and i’m always a call away.”

Before transfer, Mumu Bin-Wahad wishes West Virginia fans & staff well

Even though it’ll be a few weeks before he enters the NCAA transfer portal, Mumu Bin-Wahad made sure to thank several on his way out from West Virginia.

His farewell note included several groups beyond just his teammates.

“I appreciate the fans of West Virginia allowing me to represent them,” Bin-Wahad wrote. “Y’all are one of a kind and truly support the blue and gold.

“I would like to thank all the advisors and staff that helped and guided me. I would like to thank all the strength coaches for their investment and time into me. Transitioning from high school to the Big 12 isn’t easy but you guys helped me get my body ready to preform (sic).”
