Treysen Eaglestaff ‘Blessed’ To Play for Ross Hodge
Eaglestaff entered the transfer portal when it first opened, and several programs quickly expressed their interest in the shooting guard. Kentucky, Michigan, Kansas, South Carolina, UCLA, and other programs were interested in bringing the 19-year-old on board before he decided to commit to South Carolina.
But in a shocking turn of events, Eaglestaff backed out of the commitment and decided to reopen his recruitment.
The 19-year-old will now play for coach Ross Hodge’s Mountaineers after committing to West Virginia University.
“Blessed for this opportunity 💙💛,” Eaglestaff posted on his official X account in response to the announcement that he had committed to WVU.
