Rich Rodriguez to Make Last-Minute Roster Change as Report Confirms WVU’s Unexpected Move

2 min read

Isn’t it wild how, even with fall camp in full swing, the transfer portal can still shake things up in college football? Mountaineer Nation barely has time to unpack from summer before rumors start flying about roster moves and late additions. That’s the thrill and chaos of the modern era. There’s always room for one more twist before the opening whistle.

Now, if you thought West Virginia’s 2025 roster was set in stone, you might want to reconsider. Rich Rodriguez, back for his second stint running the show in Morgantown, isn’t satisfied just yet. With the kickoff against Robert Morris fast approaching, he’s putting the finishing touches on his squad and clearly looking for fresh talent that can make a difference from day one.

And here’s where things get interesting: On3 insiders are logging predictions that the Mountaineers will soon land Oregon State linebacker Olu Omotosho through the portal. Omotosho, a Houston native, battled through injuries last season but brings proven Power Five and Mountain West chops. He’s played everywhere from Wyoming to Oregon State, and his 2022 stat line (46 tackles, 6.5 sacks) showed just how disruptive he can be when healthy. If this move becomes official, don’t be surprised if he’s making early noise on Rodriguez’s defense, because, clearly, West Virginia’s not done making moves.

This is a developing story…
