Jonas Muya

On the eve of the early signing period, the West Virginia Mountaineers secured a massive commitment, literally and figuratively, scooping up class of 2026 offensive tackle Jonas Muya (6'8", 280 lbs) of Bishop Luers High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Muya, a highly rated three-star recruit, picked the Mountaineers over finalists Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Purdue. He also held offers from the likes of Cincinnati, Miami (OH), Tennessee, Toledo, and a few others.

"Today, I proudly announce my commitment to WVU Football," he posted on X. "Coming from far away, this represents a significant step towards the future I’ve envisioned for myself. I’ve faced numerous sacrifices and trials, including the pain of putting aside my first love for basketball, but I persevered and grew stronger as a result. Each obstacle has fueled my determination to achieve my goals.

"With honor and unwavering resolve, I commit to West Virginia University. This is the new next chapter. Just take me home."
