Dana Holgorsen praises Ferns brothers

Michael and Brendan Ferns were high school legends and two of the few Division I recruits from this area. The brothers, separated by three years, are now joining forces at West Virginia under head coach Dana Holgorsen.

After a heated recruiting battle between several schools, Brendan, who will graduate this spring, chose the Mountaineers on National Signing Day.

His older brother had a different route to WVU.

The Ferns brothers grew up as huge Mountaineer fans, living within an hour and a half of Morgantown. However, Michael originally went up north to Michigan.
