In a move that has sent shockwaves through the college football world, former WVU running back Diore Hubbard has finally found his new collegiate home, and it’s not where most fans expected. After weeks of speculation, Hubbard officially signed with the University of Wyoming on Sunday, leaving many to wonder what this means for his future. But here’s where it gets controversial: Hubbard’s cryptic tweet, ‘Less work, no work needs to be said,’ has sparked debates about his motivations and the dynamics of his transfer. Is he hinting at a smoother path to success, or is there more to the story? Let’s dive in.
Hubbard, a Neal Brown recruit who signed with WVU in December 2024, stepped into the spotlight early in the 2025 season due to injuries plaguing the team’s running back corps, most notably to standout player White. Despite the pressure, Hubbard shone, earning Big 12 Freshman of the Week honors for his stellar performance in a victory over Colorado. His stats speak volumes: while he rushed for 335 yards on 96 carries (averaging 3.5 yards per attempt), it was his receiving skills that truly stood out. Hubbard hauled in six passes for 94 yards, including a jaw-dropping 69-yard reception that set up a crucial Mountaineer touchdown. And this is the part most people miss: his versatility as both a runner and receiver makes him a unique asset, something Wyoming is undoubtedly eager to capitalize on.
But let’s not forget his standout game against then-No. 22 Houston, where he rushed for 108 yards on 29 carries and scored a touchdown in a road upset win. Hubbard’s ability to perform under pressure has made him a player to watch, and his transfer to Wyoming raises questions about how he’ll fit into their offensive scheme. Is Wyoming the perfect fit for Hubbard, or is this a risky move for both parties? Weigh in below—we want to hear your thoughts!
