Bowers is the latest West Virginia running back expected to enter the transfer portal, as Diore Hubbard made his intentions known earlier this offseason. Hubbard was the team’s leading rusher in 2025 and spent two seasons with the Mountaineers.

Hubbard totaled 335 yards and four touchdowns across 96 carries during the 2025 campaign. He only logged stats in eight games this past season, and missed the season finale against Texas Tech on Nov. 29 after getting banged up against Arizona State a couple of weeks prior.

He was a true freshman in 2024. Hubbard redshirted but made appearances at Oklahoma State and against Kansas State that season.

A three-star recruit from Gahanna Lincoln (OH), Hubbard was the No. 1,005 overall recruit in the 2024 recruiting class, per the Rivals Industry Rankings, a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 76 RB in his high school class and No. 40 player out of the state of Ohio and was recruited by the likes of Kentucky, Bowling Green, Boston College and UAB, among others.

Hubbard ends his time with the Mountaineers logging a 10-15 record over the past two seasons. That included a 4-8 finish during the 2025 season.
