WVU QB Commit Brodie McWhorter Undergoes Successful Surgery

West Virginia quarterback commit Brodie McWhorter announced earlier this week that he suffered a season-ending injury in last week's game, going out with a broken fibula and dislocated ankle.

“I am thankful to have the best coaching staff, teammates, trainers, doctors, and support group around me," McWhorter wrote on X earlier this week. "Everything happens for a reason and I know God has a plan for me! To my teammates, the goal is still to win a region championship so I will be supporting and assisting as much as possible for the rest of the way. Minor setback for a major comeback!”

McWhorter was a massive get for West Virginia with several Power Four/bluebloods recruiting him extremely hard. Landing a quarterback of his caliber felt like a long shot, but he made the trip up Morgantown in June and loved what he saw.

Just to give some context, he chose the Mountaineers over offers from schools like Arkansas, Auburn, Boston College, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Indiana, Louisville, Michigan State, Minnesota, Mississippi State, NC State, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oregon, Purdue, TCU, UCF, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin, and several others.
