MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Just when fans thought the WVU basketball roster was nearly set, a major piece of the puzzle has come back into play. Redshirt freshman big man Abraham Oyeadier is officially returning to the Mountaineers, bringing the team’s scholarship count to 11 and injecting a fresh wave of optimism into the program.
Oyeadier, known for his length, energy, and shot-blocking potential, redshirted last season to develop physically and adapt to the pace of Division I basketball. Now, he’s back—and ready to make noise in the Big 12.
With WVU navigating a rebuilding phase under new leadership and several offseason changes, Oyeadier’s return couldn’t come at a better time. His presence bolsters the frontcourt depth and gives the Mountaineers a versatile option who can alter shots, run the floor, and provide a physical presence in the paint.
The WVU faithful have been eager to see how the roster shapes up heading into next season—and this move just added another layer of intrigue.
Is Abraham Oyeadier the secret weapon WVU needs for a comeback year? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: Mountaineer Nation is watching. #HailWV 💙💛
