Jax State’s leading receiver set to reunite with Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia
Rich Rodriguez added another familiar face to his growing West Virginia roster.
A&P Sports Agency announced on Monday Cam Vaughn is expected to transfer to West Virginia, reuniting the Gamecocks’ former leading receiver with his past head coach.
He will join fellow wide receiver Jarod Bowie and tight end Jacob Barrick as former Jax State players to transfer to WVU and reunite with Rodriguez and wide receivers coach Ryan Garrett, who also moved from Jax State to West Virginia.
Vaughn, a native of Temple, Georgia, will have three years of eligibility remaining.
The receiver was one of the top targets in the Group of Five this season and earned Conference USA All-Freshman team honors this season with the Gamecocks.
He led Jax State in receptions (48), receiving yards (803) and receiving touchdowns (five) as a redshirt freshman, averaging over 16 yards per catch with the Gamecocks.
Vaughn’s season was highlighted by a Hail Mary reception from 49 yards out to end regulation of Jax State’s 44-37, overtime win over Louisiana Tech.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound receiver capped off his Jax State career with 10 catches for 184 yards and a touchdown against Ohio in the StaffDNA Cure Bowl.
