As the 2025 football season draws closer to its conclusion, the recruiting class of 2026 is starting to take shape and remains a key focus for the WVU football coaching staff.
A 6’1” 180-pound safety from Midlothian, Virginia, Jayden Ballard, has flipped from his commitment from the MAC’s Buffalo to WVU on Monday. Ballard is a three-star safety according to Rivals and is the 227th-ranked safety in the class of 2026.
I’ve got a big update to share. After a lot of thought and talks with my family and coaches, I’ve decided to flip my commitment from UB and will now be committing to WVU.
