WVU Commit Obinna Onwuka is Helping the Staff Recruit Top Targets

Who says there isn't any excitement around the WVU football program?

Over the last couple of weeks, the Mountaineers have gained a lot of ground on the recruiting trail, snatching up a handful of commitments while making the top lists for several other recruits thanks to official visits.

One of those commitments, EDGE Obinna Onwuka, has turned from recruit to lead recruiter for the Mountaineers' 2024 class. In all my years of covering recruiting, I've never seen a commit recruit others as hard as Onwuka has. He's doing everything he can to get fans to flood the comments of top targets to show them love and has even teased the fans about future announcements that involve WVU.

We’re building something special in Morgantown, it’s about to get crazy in a couple days, trust the climb👀. #takemehome24

This is exactly what West Virginia needs - someone who is passionate about WVU and puts in maximum effort to assist the coaching staff in landing the best pieces possible to turn the program around. It can create a flurry of commitments, as we've already seen. And as fellow commit KJ Flowe told me a couple of days ago, more are on the way.
