Former WVU Safety Jaheem Joseph Transfers to Group of Five School

After spending just one year in Morgantown, West Virginia safety Jaheem Joseph entered his name into the transfer portal, and on Friday, he found his new home. Joseph announced on X that he will finish out his career at UNLV, playing for new head coach Dan Mullen.

In 13 games this season with the Mountaineers, Joseph tallied 40 tackles, two passes defended, and one interception. He had an up-and-down year but was probably one of the more consistent pieces in West Virginia's back end.

Prior to coming to WVU, Joseph spent the first three years of his career at Northwestern. There, he totaled 38 tackles, three interceptions, and two passes defended. He has one year of eligibility remaining.
