Wyoming Transfer Braden Siders Commits to West Virginia • The Voice Of Motown

MORGANTOWN, West Virginia — Moments ago, the West Virginia Mountaineers added their 5th transfer commit of the day when Wyoming transfer Braden Siders announced that he is committed to play at WVU in 2025!

Siders, a 6´3 252 pound defensive end from Thomton, Colorado, played in only six games last season but finished with 22 tackles and 3.5 sacks. As a freshman at Wyoming, he led the team in tackles for loss with 13.5 and was second in sacks on the team with 7 and was named a Freshman All-American. He has since struggled with injuries during his career, but appears ready to get back on the field full time. Oddly enough, Siders committed to play for the Arizona Wildcats only a few days ago, but has backed away from that commitment and has isntead chosen to play for the Mountaineers. Siders will have one year of eligiblity remaining.

Siders becomes the 24th player added from the transfer portal since Rich Rodriguez took over the West Virginia football program. Here is the current list of 2025 players in the West Virginia transfer portal class: Jarod Bowie, Jacob Barrick, Tulsa offensive line transfer Walter Young Bear, Jordan Scruggs, a cornerback from South Alabama, Oran Singleton, a wide receiver from Eastern Michigan, Jaylen Henderson, a quarterback from Texas A&M, Jacksonville State wide receiver Cam Vaughn, former North Carolina linebacker Ashton Woods, former Youngstown State wide receiver Cyrus Traugh, Catawba running back LJ Turner, Tulane kicker Ethan Head, Iowa tight end Johnny Pascuzzi, Chattanooga safety Jordan Walker, defensive back Michael Coats, Jr., Jacksonville State defensive backs Fred Perry and Derek Carter, Washington safety Justin Harrington, LSU offensive lineman Kimo Makaneole, Northern Iowa running back Tye Edwards, Colorado State linebacker Chase Wilson, Wyatt Minor from Youngstown State, Daveon Walker from Butler Community College, safety William Davis from Virginia union, and Robby Martin from NC State.
