West Virginia recently offered a 13-year-old kid a football scholarship – but this recruit is no “normal” 13-year-old. The recruit has strong connections to the current coaching staff, the program, and head coach Rich Rodriguez.
WVU football has officially offered 13-year-old Noel Devine Jr., the offer being announced back on September 10. Yes, that is Noel Devine Sr.’s son, the current running backs coach for the West Virginia Mountaineers and WVU football legend. Devine Jr. is one of the youngest recruits that coach Rodriguez has ever offered – he is currently an eighth grader but has already received two football offers, including from his dad’s alma mater.
