It has not taken long for Neal Brown to make waves on the recruiting front.

Two months after the Danville native was hired to be the head coach at West Virginia, Brown has received a commitment from a Boyle County star. Three-star wide receiver Reese Smith announced he will be a Mountaineer.

Ranked by 247 Sports as the No. 8 prospect from the state of Kentucky in the 2020 class, Smith helped lead Boyle County to a 3A State Championship in 2017.

Brown’s first commitment as West Virginia’s head coach was also being recruited by Dean Hood at the University of Kentucky.
