After coming back home to Morgantown, head coach Rich Rodriguez will have his first recruiting class under his leadership for 2026, and so far, it has been a very exciting class.
An ESPN article posted on Thursday ranked the top 50 programs by their recruiting class for 2026. The top of the list was no surprise, with program names like USC, Georgia, Texas A&M, Texas, and Notre Dame all in the top five, respectively. But if a reader scrolls towards the bottom of the list, they might be surprised to see WVU coming in at number 41 on the list of top 50 recruiting classes.
