A native of Western Pennsylvania who played high school football at North Allegheny High School in the prestigious WPIAL, Notaro spent his true freshman season as a redshirt at Alabama.

He served as the backup placekicker and played in two games, making five extra points in as many tries while kicking off five times for a combined 317 yards with two touchbacks.

Notaro (5-foot-11, 188 pounds) will now bring his full four years of eligibility to West Virginia, just an hour and a half from where he grew up.

He was considered a top prospect as a high school recruit.
