Former FSU receiver Damon McDaniel is set to transfer to West Virginia and rejoin his high school coach, Chris Beatty, according to reports from Rivals.com and the Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail.

Beatty recently joined the Mountaineers as running backs/slot receivers coach.

McDaniel arrived at FSU from Landstown High in Virginia Beach with lofty expectations in 2006, but the prep teammate of Florida’s Percy Harvin failed to make much of a mark with the Noles.

He caught only three passes as a true freshman, and personal issues prevented him from breaking out as a sophomore. McDaniel missed time and fell behind on the depth chart when he returned home to Virginia for the birth of his son, a life-changing event that prompted McDaniel to transfer to a school closer to home.

Very talented player. WVU already has commits from the best HS players in VA.
