The Mountaineers' recruiting class grows once again.
Kedrick Triplett

Sunday afternoon, the West Virginia Mountaineers scooped up a commitment from junior college wide receiver Kedrick Triplett (6'1", 200 lbs) of Pearl River C.C.

Triplett picked the Mountaineers over Arkansas, Arkansas State, Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Kennesaw State, Liberty, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana Monroe, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, Nevada, Old Dominion, Southern Alabama, Southern Miss, Texas State, Toledo, Troy, Utah, UTEP, UTSA, Western Kentucky, and a few others.

In nine games this season, Triplett has hauled in 25 receptions for 399 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 16 yards per catch, registering a season-long of 88 yards.

Triplett is widely considered as one of the top junior college receivers in the nation, alongside fellow West Virginia commit Keon Hutchins, with whom he was on campus this weekend. Both players run a 40-time in the 4.3s, meaning that receiver room just got a whole lot faster.
