West Virginia Mountaineers

Just hours before West Virginia tips off before the No. 25 Texas Longhorns, interim head coach Josh Eilert announced that WVU football safety Aden Tagaloa-Nelson will join the basketball team for the remainder of the season.

Nelson played high school basketball at Woodford County High and helped lead his team to the Sweet 16 in the Kentucky state basketball tournament.

He played in one game for the football program this past season.
