On Monday evening, Rich Rodriguez and the West Virginia Mountaineers added a talented player at a key position in the transfer portal with the addition of Charlotte quarterback transfer Max Brown.
Brown, a 6-foot-3 sophomore from Tulsa, Oklahoma, spent the previous season at Charlotte after starting his career at Florida.
In his two seasons of collegiate football, Brown completed 62 passes for 753 yards and a touchdown to interception ratio of 3-7. He also added 56 carries for 109 yards.
Coming out of Lincoln Christian School in the Class of 2022, Brown was listed as a three-star prospect by the 247Sports index and the nation’s 1557th-ranked prospect. He also checked in as the 35th-ranked player at his position and the 12th-ranked player in the state of Oklahoma.
With the addition, West Virginia has now added a total of 27 different prospects through the transfer portal this offseason. The group checks in as the Big 12’s 10th-ranked group and the country’s 40th-ranked unit.
The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, December 9, 2024, and closed on Saturday, December 28, except for players on teams who play bowl games after the window closes. According to NCAA data, 2,273 FBS football players entered the transfer portal in 2023-24 school year, with 1,558 (68.5%) undergraduates and 715 (31.5%) graduate transfers. Of the entrants, 57% reported that they enrolled in another school, 8% withdrew their names from the portal, and 35% are still active, transferred to a non-NCAA school, or left their sport.
