Mathis had been at West Virginia from 2019-22 and was expected to be their lead back this fall. In 2022, Mathis turned in his best season rushing for 562 yards along with touchdowns in his 10 starts for the Mountaineers. Mathis is reuniting with Holgorsen after signing with West Virginia’s Class of 2019 before Holgorsen left for Houston.
Houston is joining the Big 12 Conference this summer and this fall UH will host West Virginia on October 12.
