The Mountaineers continued their recruiting tear in the Early National Signing Period on Wednesday evening as they flipped their second 4-star commit of the day from a Big Ten program, and landed their fourth overall 4-star prospect of the signing class.
This flip came in the form of Sandy Creek (Ga.) prospect Amari Latimer, who is listed as the 19th-best running back in the Class of 2026 according to the 247Sports composite rankings. Latimer was originally committed to the Wisconsin Badgers, and held offers from countless Power 4 programs including Arkansas, Auburn, Cal, Colorado, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Pitt, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, and USC.
