West Virginia wide receiver Sam James is leaving WVU and entering his name into the 2023 NFL Draft, he announced Wednesday.
“To this wonderful state, thank you for welcoming me with open arms and taking me in as one of your own,” James said. “My journey is onto the next chapter and through discussion and prayer I will be entering my name into the 2023 NFL Draft.”
James has played in 50 games since 2018, catching 190 passes for 2,229 yards and 15 touchdowns.
This season, James had 46 catches for 745 yards and six touchdowns.
James joins fellow wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton as Mountaineers who had one year of eligibility remaining, but decided to enter into the NFL Draft.
