Top Commitments in the Class

ATH Matt Sieg (4-star, consensus): A big get for the Mountaineers as the former Penn State pledge will come to Morgantown as a safety, but will likely see time on both sides of the ball. He shattered numerous WPIAL records, making him one of the best recruits to come out of Western PA.

OT Kevin Brown (4-star, ESPN): The son of former Mountaineer offensive lineman Tim Brown is a massive pickup for West Virginia and is someone who just might be able to come in and start from day one. Following the firing of James Franklin at Penn State, West Virginia, and Ohio State duked it out for his services. Having his dad in the Mountaineers' corner certainly helped, especially considering he played for Rich Rodriguez.

CB Vincent Smith (4-star, 247 Sports): West Virginia is getting a big and long corner that plays the ball well in the air. The Mountaineers received good play from their cornerback group this season, but oftentimes were beaten simply because of their lack of size. Smith checks in at 6'2", 200 pounds, immediately making him one of the bigger players in the room.

OT Jonas Muya (3-star, consensus): On the eve of the early signing period, the Mountaineers scooped up a big commitment from this large offensive lineman (6'8", 280 lbs) who has the look of a multi-year starter. WVU beat out the likes of Minnesota, Oklahoma, Purdue, and Tennessee for his services.

RB SirPaul Cheeks (3-star, consensus): The Virginia native is an electrifying playmaker who can make people look silly in the open field. He has top-notch speed, which is exactly what this Rich Rod offense needed. He suffered a torn ACL a couple of months ago and won't be fully healed until later this summer.

QB Jyron Hughley (3-star, consensus): Hughley is one of two quarterback commits in this class entering the first day of the early signing period. He is the nephew of former West Virginia quarterback and assistant coach Ja'Juan Seider.

Recruiting Surprises, Flips & Misses

ATH Matt Sieg — Penn State ----> West Virginia

One of the biggest surprises in the entire recruiting landscape, considering Sieg didn't have WVU in his list of finalists and hadn't been on campus in nearly two years. Indiana, Notre Dame, Pitt, Penn State, and Virginia Tech were the expected destinations, but WVU swooped in with a strong last-minute push and will play him immediately, possibly on both sides of the ball.

TE Xavier Anderson — Cincinnati ----> West Virginia

The big, 6-foot-7 tight end had been committed to the Bearcats since the summer, but WVU tight ends coach Michael Nysewander stayed after it and flipped the West Virginia native on Wednesday morning.

LB Caleb Gordon — West Virginia ----> North Carolina State

Gordon is a hard-hitting linebacker who just committed to the Mountaineers on November 24th. He took an official visit to Raleigh for NC State's regular season finale against North Carolina and signed with the Wolfpack this morning.

ATH John Johnson — Washington State ----> West Virginia

Johnson is a quarterback in Louisiana who has put up some monster numbers, but was committed to Washington State to play wide receiver. He was officially announced as an "athlete" by West Virginia, meaning his position is to be determined.
