West Virginia picks up commit from tight end Charles Finley

By Keenan Cummings

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia wanted one tight in the 2020 recruiting class — no more, no less.
The Mountaineers landed its top option on the board Friday when Wayne (N.J.) De Paul Catholic tight end Charles Finley selected WVU.

The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder didn’t receive an offer from WVU until mid-May, but things picked up hot and heavy between the two parties in the weeks that followed.

Finley made multiple visits to campus, including most recently for the July 25 cookout and a strong push by tight ends coach Travis Trickett helped to ultimately seal the deal for the fast-rising prospect.
