Prince Strachan - Back to practicing Strachan (undisclosed) is healthy and partaking in West Virginia's fall camp, Keenan Cummings of On3.com reports.

Impact Strachan was dealing with an undisclosed injury early in fall camp but is now back to participating in practice for the Mountaineers. The wideout is standing out in the receiving corps due to his size as a 6-foot-5, 215-pound pass catcher. The transfer wideout is expected to play a key role in the passing attack this season, and now healthy once again, he can showcase his abilities during camp. Strachan was limited to one game last season with USC due to injuries, but before that, in two seasons with Boise State, he hauled in 37 receptions for 578 yards and three touchdowns.

Cam Ball - Nicked up in camp Ball (undisclosed) has been limited during West Virginia's fall camp, Spencer Ripchik of The Dominion Post reports.

Impact Ball is a legitimate challenger for West Virginia's top spot at tight end, so him being limited and potentially out does not bode well for his immediate chances of being a TE1, especially with Ryan Ward (undisclosed) also out. Both tight ends will have just over three weeks to get their physical health in order before Coastal Carolina comes to visit WVU on Sept. 5.

Ryan Ward - Limited in fall camp Ward (undisclosed) has been limited during West Virginia's fall camp, Spencer Ripchik of The Dominion Post reports.

Impact In the race for West Virginia's top tight end option, Ward being limited and potentially out could significantly affect the WVU team's TE room. He still has a good amount of fall camp to return before the 2026 Mountaineers begin their regular season Sept. 5 against Coastal Carolina.

Amari Latimer - Pushing for RB2 role Latimer is currently leading the running backs competing for a backup role behind Cam Cook, Chris Anderson of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Latimer is a true freshman who is competing against Martavious Boswell, Chris Talley, and others for the backup running back job. Cam Cook is projected to be the starter, though he will need a reliable backup, and Latimer has positioned himself well through fall camp. Head coach Rich Rodriguez praised the running back as a hard worker, noting that while the staff does not want to rush him, he has already earned reps with the first-team offense. This is a promising start for the young running back, who will have the opportunity to learn behind the veteran Cook and continue developing within the Mountaineers' system.

Jaden Bray - Reps at new spot Bray is logging slot reps during West Virginia's fall camp, Schuyler Callihan of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Even though Bray has slot-receiver experience, having lined up 57 times there during games, most of his bread and butter is as an outside receiver. Callihan's report simply indicates that the wide receiver may log a more versatile role next season. The change may benefit Bray, whose last seasons (both injury-riddled) include fewer than 200 receiving yards.

Prince Strachan - Dealing with injury Strachan is dealing with an undisclosed injury during camp, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.

Impact Strachan is reportedly "banged up" and is working his way back through injury. During spring camp, the 6-foot-5 wide receiver was dealing with an upper-body injury, however, it is unclear if he is dealing with the same injury or another. More news should surface in the coming weeks leading up to the season-opener.
