Less than a month after leaving his original college football home, Maurice Fleming has apparently found a new one.
On his personal Twitter account Thursday, Fleming revealed that he will be continuing his collegiate playing career at West Virginia. As the defensive back will be joining the Mountaineers as a graduate transfer, he’ll be eligible to play immediately this upcoming season.
The 2016 season will serve as Fleming’s final year of eligibility.Thanks To All The Schools And Their Recruitment But I Will Be Playing @ West Virginia University For My Final Season! Let’s Go #Mountaineers

Friday afternoon, WVU confirmed Fleming’s addition to the roster.
Fleming played in 33 games the last three seasons before announcing his decision to transfer from Iowa last month. Last season in the Hawkeyes’ run to the Big Ten championship game, Fleming played in all 14 games.
