WVU Football Recruiting
2026 OL Camden Goforth Explains Extreme Confidence in Future of WVU Football
Part of Rich Rodriguez’s confidence in the future of WVU football stems from his incoming 2026 class. The Mountaineers will be in the hands of a new crop of players ready to spark a new era for West Virginia.
And one 2026 commit is extremely confident in his belief that his class will be the one to change the program.
“I don’t think people realize what’s coming. I’ve seen the quality of athletes being recruited, I’ve talked to the guys that are coming in early. Here’s the common link between all of us, we’re HUNGRY. These guys are WANTING the chance to do something great. Get ready WVU fans, something special is in the works. I’m humbled just to get the opportunity to be a part of this!,” said three-star offensive line prospect Camden Goforth following the conclusion of West Virginia’s 2025 season, a campaign that ended with a 49-0 defeat at the hands of Texas Tech.

Goforth, a center who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 295 pounds, originally committed to Coastal Carolina before buying into Rodriguez’s vision and flipping to WVU in June.
After commuting, Goforth also explained to WV Sports Now why joining WVU was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.
“The opportunity there is something I couldn’t pass up. They are building a program to win, plus I will be coached by some of the best coaches in college,” said Goforth, believing in the plan in place to make West Virginia a national contender again.”
Goforth also held offers from close to two dozen other collegiate programs including North Carolina State, Liberty, Memphis, Navy and Tulane.
A native of Athens, Tenn., Goforth is a product of McMinn High School.
