The 2026 recruiting class will be the first full recruiting class for WVU football that Rich Rodriguez and his staff have built from top-to-bottom since returning to his alma mater. The Mountaineers have already nabbed a ton of commitments in the class that have the potential to become future stars in Morgantown.
One area where the 2026 class is coming together quite impressively is in the running back room. One big piece of that puzzle announced his intent to join the program earlier this month on July 4, as Christopher Talley from Memphis, Tennessee, announced his commitment to WVU.
