Most recruiting outlets like 247 Sports and Rivals rank Bethea as a 3-star player. He is classified as the 39th player at his position by 247 Sports and third best in the state of New York. Rivals agrees with the state ranking, but has Bethea slotted in at 19 overall.
Bethea has also received offers from Buffalo, Maryland, Nebraska, Rutgers and Syracuse. This offer dips Neal Brown and WVU into the New York City area, which hasn’t exactly been a focus area for the program or a recruiting hotbed for the country.
