Several WVU Football Recruits Share Experience Visiting for Season Opener

Even though the actual game itself didn’t go well for the Mountaineers, there was still one positive for the WVU football program to come out of Saturday – it served as an opportunity to showcase the program to recruits. And some of the many West Virginia recruits who attended the biggest home opener in Morgantown since 1998 shared their experience on Sunday.

Below are just some of the high school players who posted about their visit on social media.
