BREAKING: Princeton OL Transfer William Reed Commits to West Virginia

In this story:
Rich Rodriguez is far from done retooling the West Virginia football roster as Tuesday afternoon, he secured a commitment from Princeton offensive line transfer William Reed.
The veteran lineman picked the Mountaineers over finalists Georgia Tech, Nebraska, and Virginia. He also received offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Memphis, Pitt, Stanford, UNLV, and Wake Forest.
"Coach Bicknell and Coach Dressler were awesome," Reed told West Virginia On SI. "Coach Bicknell's experience in the NFL is really impressive, not to mention his college experience. The facilities were some of the best I have seen on any visit. Probably the best. It seems like they are bringing in a lot of talent and want to turn things around quickly."
Coming out of Eastside Catholic High School in Sammamish, Washington, Reed made the surprising decision to play at Princeton, passing up opportunities to play at Air Force, Army, Colorado, Duke, Hawai'i, Kansas, Michigan, Michigan State, San Diego State, Tennessee, UNLV, Utah, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Washington State, and a few others.
He will have one year of eligibility remaining.
