Transfer Four-Star Linebacker being Counted on by WVU to Make Difference on Defense Suspended

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on August 22, 2019

MetroNews is reporting that West Virginia sophomore outside linebacker VanDarius Cowan will be suspended for the first four games of the season, a program source confirmed on Wednesday. It is an NCAA-mandated suspension due to “eligibility issues.”
 
Cowan has yet to play a game for the Mountaineers. Per NCAA rules, he sat out last season after transferring from Alabama.
 
Mike Casazza of 247Sports was first to report Cowan’s suspension. Cowan will miss West Virginia’s games against James Madison, Missouri, North Carolina State and Kansas before he is eligible to return against Texas on Oct. 5.
 
It seems safe to say the suspension did not catch anyone within the West Virginia program by surprise. Dating back to the start of spring football, defensive coordinator Vic Koenning seemed skeptical that he would ever see Cowan on the field.
