WVU sophomore forward Ofri Naveh announced his decision to redshirt this season in a post to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.
Naveh is the only returning Mountaineer from last season after interim head coach Josh Eilert was let go and Darian DeVries was hired. He played in 24 games in 2023-2024, starting seven, averaging 2.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.8 rebounds per game as a true freshman.
“After careful consideration I have decided to redshirt this season. This decision, which was made prior to our game last night, is one I believe will be the right step for my development and future,” Naveh wrote in the post. “I love WVU and feel incredibly grateful to be a part of this team. Though I won’t be on the court, I’m fully committed to working hard, pushing my teammates, and supporting our team in every way I can.”
