“The visit went great. As soon as I stepped onto campus I could feel the energy, it was amazing. The coaches and I got to talk a lot which was also great too.”
“I spoke with Coach Addae, Coach Dye and multiple recruiting coordinators. The conversations went great. We talked about football, the school and other things. I liked how the conversation wasn’t just about football. We talked more then that, which made it feel like a family environment. I feel like the more we talked the better our relationship got, which I’m looking forward to continue.”

“WVU is my dream school. Mainly because of the atmosphere and it feels like I can spend the next 4-6 years in school there.”
2020 ATH Kaveon Ross (Columbus, OH)
Had a great visit at West Virginia University. The atmosphere was great and the fans was amazing, I would like to thank @Coach__Seiler for inviting me and the rest of the coaching staff for showing me a great time! pic.twitter.com/Sl96RxIweH

“It was a great visit. They showed me and my family a different type of welcoming. The coaches showed mad love, the fans were great and the atmosphere was amazing. Best visit by far!”
“What stuck out most to me is when I talked to a couple of players and they were telling me how they felt about WVU. They told me all good things and how the education is amazing. Another thing that stuck out is that I really got a good connection with a couple of coaches. They treated me like family and that was my first time visiting.”
“Coach Seiler and I just met in person for the first time yesterday. I feel like the relationship is fine right now, but as the season goes I think it will get better because I’ll be staying in touch with him a lot.”
