Ayden Garnes Transfers from West Virginia to Arizona

Former West Virginia linebacker Trey Lathan has signed with the Kansas Jayhawks, where he will have two years of eligibility remaining after recovering from a knee injury that cut his 2023 season short. Meanwhile, Colorado has bolstered its defensive line with Texas State transfer Tavian Coleman, who recorded impressive stats over his college career, becoming the third transfer defensive lineman to join the Buffaloes this offseason. Arizona has also made headlines by securing a commitment from former West Virginia cornerback Ayden Garnes, marking their ninth defensive transfer acquisition. Garnes, who previously played at Duquesne, brings one season of eligibility to the Wildcats after a season-ending injury limited his performance at West Virginia. Both Lathan and Garnes are set to face their former teams in the upcoming season, adding intrigue to their transfers. As teams adjust their rosters through the transfer portal, the focus remains on enhancing defensive capabilities ahead of the 2025 season.
