MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – With the start of the first summer school session at West Virginia University, a new wave of Mountaineer student-athletes are arriving on campus.
The WVU basketball team saw one newcomer enroll this week. Dimon Carrigan, a 6-foot-9, 215-pound transfer from Florida International University, has moved to Morgantown and begun his academic work. A political science major at FIU, Carrigan averaged 6.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 1.1 steals per game last season for the Panthers. A native of Boston, Massachusetts, where he graduated from Cambridge Rindge & Latin School, Carrigan will be a fifth-year senior at West Virginia this coming campaign. After graduating from Rindge & Latin, Carrigan spent two years in the junior college ranks – 2017-18 at Bunker Hill Community College and 2018-19 at Odessa (Texas) Community College – before moving on to FIU for the 2019-20 and then 2020-21 seasons.
Bob Huggins’ Mountaineer men’s basketball program has four other recruits signed to National Letters of Intent who are not yet enrolled at WVU but are expected to arrive in the next month or so – 6-foot-1 guard Malik Curry, who is a fifth-year transfer from Old Dominion; 6-foot-8 forward Pauly Paulicap, a sixth-year transfer from DePaul; 6-foot-3 guard Seth Wilson, an incoming freshman from Lorain (Ohio) High School; and 6-foot-4 guard Kobe Johnson, an incoming freshman from Canton-McKinley (Ohio) High School.
On the football side, Neal Brown’s squad enrolled nine of its 19 NLI signees in January – quarterback Goose Crowder, tight end Treylan Davis, defensive lineman Brayden Dudley, safety Davis Mallinger, offensive lineman Doug Nester (a transfer from Virginia Tech), wide receiver Kaden Prather, defensive lineman Edward Vesterinen, tight end Victor Wikstrom and cornerback Andrew Wilson-Lamp.
One more newcomer joined this group this week, as linebacker Ja’Corey Hammett (6-2, 205 lbs.) has enrolled at WVU.
A native of Miami, Florida, Hammett played just one game for Northwestern Senior (Fla.) High School in 2020 before being sidelined with an injury. As a junior, he helped lead the Bulls to their third straight Florida Class 5A state championship, recording 63 tackles and 11 sacks on the 2019 season. He’ll likely begin his Mountaineer career at bandit linebacker.

West Virginia’s football team has nine others signed to National Letters of Intent who have not enrolled at the University yet – running back Jaylen Anderson, defensive back Aubrey Burks, linebacker Lance Dixon (a transfer from Penn State), running back Justin Johnson, defensive back Saint McLeod, offensive lineman Wyatt Milum, offensive lineman Thomas Rimac, defensive lineman Hammond Russell and defensive back Charles Woods (a transfer from Illinois State). Most, if not all, of these future Mountaineers are expected to be on campus for classes and training work no later than June.
WVU’s football squad will also likely add a couple more newcomers to this mix this summer – be they four-year college transfers, junior college transfers or incoming freshmen – plus walk-ons who will enroll in June, July or August.
