West Virginia's wide receiver room grew on Monday morning, gaining a commitment from Jacksonville State transfer Jordan McCants (6'0", 170 lbs). The news was first reported by Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.

After seeing extremely limited action as a redshirt freshman, McCants worked his way into the receiver rotation this past season, catching 15 passes for 146 yards. His best performance of the year came in a 34-31 win over Florida International, where he caught four passes for 43 yards.

Coming out of high school, McCants had offers from Arkansas State, Army, Marshall, North Alabama, Richmond, South Alabama, Troy, and a few others.

He has two years of eligibility remaining.
