WVU adds JaCorey Thomas ahead of Oklahoma State matchup

Summary

The West Virginia Mountaineers have signed former Georgia defensive back JaCorey Thomas to their roster. Thomas, who will wear No. 30, is expected to contribute in the nickel/sam position as they prepare to face Oklahoma State this Saturday night. Thomas has recently received clearance to play after a court injunction related to eligibility. He missed the Mountaineers' first three games, making his immediate role crucial for the team's defensive lineup as they enter Big 12 play undefeated. An early projection suggests he could see between 15 and 25 snaps per game if he adapts quickly to the defensive scheme.
