How is any sports team supposed to conceal a new uniform while doing a photoshoot in a public space? Apparently (and hilariously), with blankets.

The West Virginia Mountaineers unveiled new uniforms in a video filmed in a local state park, and every time a car drove by, the film crew would throw multiple blankets on the player to hide the reveal until the video dropped.

The first chance to catch WVU in these uniforms comes in Week 1 when they battle Pittsburgh at Heinz Field. After that, they’ll be back in their standard uniforms as they play host for the following three weeks.

West Virginia adds veteran corner Wesly McCormick from transfer portal

The West Virginia Mountaineers will not be left out of the arms race in Big 12 football. West Virginia has added some much-needed experience to their secondary after former James Madison cornerback Wesley McCormick committed to West Virginia for the 2022 season.

The veteran college cornerback entered the transfer portal less than a week ago on May 20, and quickly made up his mind to join the Mountaineers. McCormick is a six-foot 199-pound Germantown, MD native and grew up just three hours away from his new home.

During his time at James Madison, McCormick recorded 68 tackles, nine pass deflections, and three interceptions over a four-year span. He also appeared in 49 games for the Dukes and started in 18. Last season McCormick played in just one game after being injured early in the season. With the Mountaineers, McCormick will give their secondary a veteran presence as they try to contain some of the high octane offenses of the Big 12 conference.
