Heard was a true freshman in 2023. After not registering any stats, the New Jersey native announced his intentions to enter the portal on December 9th.
With a plethora of potential, Heard was expected to become a key contributor for WVU’s defense as early as next year. Expect Neal Brown and company to hit the transfer portal hard to find his replacement in the coming weeks.
