A Recruiting Win for the Mountaineers
Martavious Boswell, a junior college transfer from Copiah‑Lincoln Community College in Fort Worth, Texas, arrives in Morgantown with a résumé that includes 1,109 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, a performance that earned him the MACCC Offensive Player of the Year and a No. 2 ranking among junior‑college running backs by 247 Sports.
His recruitment was a tightly contested battle, with the Mountaineers ultimately prevailing over Kansas State, Mississippi State and Tulsa. The decision underscores West Virginia’s ability to attract top talent despite the competition.
Coaches project Boswell as a backup to star running back Cam Cook, a pairing that could reshape the backfield’s dynamics and add depth to the offense.
Beyond statistics, Boswell cited personal connections and the program’s direction as key factors in his choice, signaling a commitment that aligns with the team’s long‑term vision.
