In today's era of college football, loyalty has become one of the rarest traits in the game. West Virginia linebacker Ben Cutter chose a different path. The North Carolina native arrived in Morgantown as a freshman and never looked back. While countless players chased new opportunities through the transfer portal, Cutter stayed committed to the Mountaineers, growing into one of the leaders of West Virginia's defense. Now entering the final season of his collegiate career, Cutter hopes years of patience, perseverance and development will produce his best football yet. In this episode, the “Guys” explore Cutter's journey from highly recruited prospect to veteran leader. It's an engaging conversation about football, personal growth, academics and the relationships that convinced him West Virginia was always the right place to call home.

The former Mountaineers finds himself in trouble, and we find time to answer other important reader questions.

In this episode of Couz's Corner, we are fast-forwarding to the 2027 college football season and breaking down why the Mountaineers are perfectly positioned to make a massive championship run.We dive deep into a massive game-changer that just came out of the NCAA: the newly approved "5-for-5" eligibility ruling. This historic shift completely eliminates traditional redshirts and grants athletes five full seasons of competition. We break down exactly how this rule benefits WVU's roster construction, allowing Rich Rodriguez and the staff to maximize veteran experience without losing pivotal developmental years.Plus, we look at the incredible depth already on campus. With a massive chunk of the current roster consisting of highly talented underclassmen, the Mountaineers are line-breeding a deeply experienced squad that will peak in 2027. Combine that foundational talent with a favorable future schedule, and the rest of the Big 12 needs to be on high alert.Is West Virginia football the true future of the conference?

WVU quarterback Michael Hawkins doesn't command attention with volume. Instead, he exudes something far more powerful — quiet confidence. The former Oklahoma signal caller arrived in Morgantown carrying the expectations that come with being one of the nation's most coveted high school recruits.

Hawkins discusses his transition to West Virginia, his relationship with Rich Rodriguez, and the mindset he brings into a season filled with opportunity. It's an insightful and entertaining look at the player entrusted with one of the most important positions in college football and the person behind the helmet.
