The only two losses are Justin Johnson and DJ Oliver, who combined for just 50 carries and less than 200 yards last year. The top five rushers (White, Donaldson, Greene, Anderson and Marchiol) all return. Jahiem White was arguably the best freshman running back in the country in 2023, and his whopping 7.7 yards per carry ranked No. 1 in the FBS among running backs (min. 75 carries). Also being added to the room are a pair of 3-star freshmen in Diore Hubbard Traevon Dunbar, who were both highly prolific backs as seniors in high school. Overall, this might be the best position group West Virginia has, and the thunder-and-lightning combo of Donaldson and White should make up one of the most dangerous duos in college football.What to watch for in fall camp: How does CJ Donaldson look? The battle between him and Jahiem White is obvious; But they're going to be splitting reps either way. I'm quite interested in seeing how healthy Donaldson is. He wore a green, limited contact jersey throughout all of spring, so the first thing I'm looking for in August is to see if he's still wearing that. The expectation is that he will be healthy for the season opener, and we're going to see if that's true not long after camp begins.</div></body>
