ChaMarryus Bomar arrived on campus as a three‑star recruit from South Carolina’s Westside High, bringing a blend of size and agility that caught the attention of the coaching staff.
Standing 5‑foot‑10 and weighing 184 pounds, he is described as a shifty, speedy athlete who can line up on both offense and defense, a versatility that the Mountaineers hope to exploit.
A Redshirt Year of Learning
During his first season he served as a redshirt, appearing in only two games and recording a single assisted tackle. The limited snaps against Robert Morris and Texas Tech gave him a taste of college speed while allowing the staff to develop his technique.
His brother, Armoni Weaver‑Bomar, also suits up for the Mountaineers, adding a familial connection that could influence chemistry on the field.
Addressing a Defensive Shortfall
The team’s secondary struggled last season, ranking among the nation’s poorest passing defenses. Coaches have identified the need for fresh talent, and Bomar’s development could provide the depth required to overhaul that unit.
With a strong summer camp showing, he may earn a leg up in the cornerback battle, potentially slotting in as a nickel defender and a regular presence on special teams.
Looking Ahead to 2026
If his summer performance translates into consistent play, Bomar could push for a starting role and become an immediate scoring threat whenever he gets his hands on the ball. The coaching staff sees him as an athlete who can contribute both defensively and in the return game.
