MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Cornerback Tavian Mayo, a long-time West Virginia target from Leesburg, Ga., finalized his relationship with the Mountaineers as the final player to sign a letter of intent with the program in the current recruiting cycle. Mayo signed with West Virginia on Wednesday afternoon.
Mayo was heavily recruited by Dana Holgorsen’s staff, but Neal Brown came to WVU fully aware of his capabilities. A pair of Mayo’s high school teammates played for Brown at Troy, though at that time he was aware landing a player of Mayo’s caliber was likely unrealistic.
“We’ve known about Tay for a long time,” Brown said.
