Onwuka entered his name into the transfer portal in December but said at the time he was open to returning to the program. He redshirted his freshmen season in 2024, and will have four years of eligibility remaining. He was a highly-touted three-star recruit with multiple offers from Power 4 programs, including WVU rivals Penn State and Virginia Tech.
