West Virginia was able to flip Miami native Ja’Corey Hammett from his commitment to the Miami Hurricanes. Hammett became the 14th verbal commitment to WVU’s Class of 2021 on Wednesday afternoon. Hammett is a 6-foot-3, 205-pound defender that led Northwestern High School to a 13-2 record and the Florida Class 5A state championship last fall.

On this episode of “Three Guys Before The Game,” West Virginia legend Owen Schmitt shares his story of chasing his dream to play football at the highest level in college and in the NFL.
