**WVU has signed three-star pass rusher Eddie Watkins from Evergreen, Alabama. Watkins (6-foot-4, 240 lbs.) is rated as the 39th best prospect in Alabama by Rivals and the 42nd best by 247Sports. 247 also has him as the 57th rated weakside defensive end in the 2020 class. He had power five offers from Arizona, Missouri, Georgia Tech, Purdue, Kentucky and Ole Miss. He had previously committed to Georgia Tech.

Update 2:48 p.m.

**West Virginia has added in-state player Jackson Oxley. Oxley (6-foot-3, 250 lbs.) is an offensive lineman who played at Cabell Midland High School. He will be a preferred walk-on, having received his PWO offer on Feb. 3.

Update 2:06 p.m.

**Junior college quarterback Matt Cavallaro has signed with West Virginia. Cavallaro is a walk-on who has enrolled early at WVU.
