Sunday evening, the West Virginia Mountaineers picked up a commitment from transfer linebacker Ashton Woods, formerly of the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The Marietta, Georgia product was a three-star recruit in the Tar Heels’ 2024 signing class and chose Carolina over offers from Arkansas, Baylor, Boston College, Georgia Tech Kansas State, Kentucky, Lousiville, Miami, Mississippi State, NC State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Pitt, Tennessee, UCF, USC, Virginia, Wake Forest, and several others.
Woods appeared in six games, seeing limited snaps on special teams and defense. With the departure of Josiah Trotter and Trey Lathan in the transfer portal, the Mountaineers need to replenish the depth in the second level. Landing a player of this caliber is a good start for new defensive coordinator Zac Alley.
At Walton High School, he tallied 383 tackles, 15 sacks, 36 TFL, six INTs, and five forced fumbles over his career. He was also a two-time all-state selection and two-time region defensive player of the year.

Woods will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Turner, 5-foot-9, 195-pounds, spent three seasons at Catawba where he rushed for 1,961 yards and 20 touchdowns.
But Turner is coming off a standout season where he accounted for 1,224 yards and 13 touchdowns while averaging a total of 7.0 per carry earning him the first outright all-American honors at running back in school history.
“WVU is everything I’m looking for and more. I know the coaching staff is going to push me to be the best version of myself on and off the field,” he said. “It kind of feels like the home away from home I’ve been searching for.”
Running backs coach Chad Scott served as the lead recruiter for Turner and was able to get him on campus for an official visit where he ultimately committed to the football program.

“He basically said he’s going to get me to my potential,” he said.
Turner also received scholarship offers from a number of other schools including Coastal Carolina, UTEP and Youngstown State after he entered the transfer portal in November.
Turner is the first running back transfer to commit to West Virginia this off-season.
The Palm Bay, Florida native has one season of eligibility remaining in his college career and is set to enroll at the mid-term.
