WVU football has been on a recruiting tear during the Early Signing Period, and their efforts are now drawing some significant national attention.
The Mountaineers pulled off a massive haul on Wednesday and early on Thursday, and are now up a huge 47-person recruiting class that ranks 25th nationally according to the 247Sports Composite rankings – that marks the second-best class for the program since 2000, when such recruiting rankings first began being tracked, as well as the program’s top recruiting class since joining the Big 12 over a decade ago.
That type of effort was clearly not expected by national analysts, and they seemed a bit surprised by the Mountaineers coming out of nowhere to secure the third-best recruiting class in the Big 12 for the 2026 cycle.
