On Tuesday, Ross Hodge and the West Virginia Mountaineers added a new player through the transfer portal with the commitment of North Texas transfer Jasper Floyd.
Floyd, a 6-foot-3 guard from Tampa, Florida, spent the past season with Hodge at North Texas, where he became a reliable starter of the Mean Green backcourt.
Last season at North Texas, Floyd posted nine points, 3.9 assists, and three rebounds per game on 42.2% shooting from the field. He also connected on 34.3% of shots from three and 76.6% of shots from the free-throw line.
Coming out of Northwest Florida State College in the Class of 2023, most major recruiting services listed Floyd as an unranked prospect. He went on to play for Fairfield College, where he posted 9.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game.
The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, March 24, 2025.
