Last season with the Mountaineers, Byerson saw time in one game, West Virginia’s Sept. 7 49-14 win over UAlbany where he recorded an assisted tackle. He also redshirted during the season.
He announced that he was entering the transfer portal on April 15 in a social media post.
“First and foremost, I want to thank God for the blessings, guidance, and strength he has given me throughout my journey,” said Byerson via X. “I also want to thank West Virginia for many lessons and the opportunity, but with that said I am entering my name in the transfer portal with 4 years of eligibility left. Thank you Mountaineer Nation.”
