WVU Football picks up first two commitments of transfer portal cycle

West Virginia picked up the first pair of commitments in the early transfer window on Sunday night, as they added two Kent State transfers.

The first was Ja’Shaun Poke, a wide receiver who has spent the last four seasons at Kent State. Poke, is listed at 5-foot-10, 171 pounds. Poke played in eight games this season for Kent State, catching 36 passes for 362 yards and a touchdown. Poke also returned 14 kickoffs, averaging 29.4 yards per return.

The second transfer Neal Brown and his staff picked up was Kent State’s Montre Miller. Last week, Miller announced West Virginia would be in his top three destinations along with Duke and Wake Forest.

Miller is a cornerback, listed at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds. He has played in 34 games in his career, registering 116 total tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, and six interceptions.

This is West Virginia’s first two additions of the transfer portal cycle, as the Mountaineers have lost 14 players so far in the portal.
