Jake Auer brings efficient spot-up shooting and walk-on grit to WVU
Auer is a 6-foot guard who, in the 2024-25 season, gave West Virginia a low-usage but highly efficient perimeter option: he played in 14 games, averaged 1.9 points, and shot 56.3% from three, while also earning NABC Honors Court recognition. [1] [2] His biggest differentiator is fit and reliability rather than volume—he looks like a disciplined, team-first guard who can space the floor, stay ready, and add mature, under-the-radar depth to a roster without needing the offense built around him.
