Top 2026 WVU Football QB Commit Reveals Upcoming Visit for Big Game

A top commit in West Virginia’s 2026 class reveals when he will be making his next trip to Morgantown. 2026 four-star quarterback Brodie McWhorter will be on campus and visiting the WVU football program as the Mountaineers kickoff the 2024 season against Penn State on August 31.

McWhorter, who announced his commitment to West Virginia on June 24, added his upcoming visit as part of a post to thank the WVU staff on Sunday.

“More than thankful for all the love and letters from my people – Blessed to be a Mountaineer. Can’t wait to be back in Almost Heaven on the 31st,” he said.

“All glory to God! There is nothing else like Morgantown and who wouldn’t want to play for coach Brown? More than grateful for the WVU staff. Country roads, take more home! Who’s next.” McWhorter wrote on social media at the time of this commitment.

Two major national recruiting outlets rank McWhorter as a four-star while one awards him only three stars.

To put McWhorter’s recruitment in context, he has offers from Auburn, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Michigan State, North Carolina and Ohio State among others. And in addition to those offers, Alabama, Clemson, Louisville, LSU, South Carolina and Tennessee have also expressed interest.

McWhorter was WVU’s the second commitment for their 2026 class.

West Virginia’s hope is McWhorter’s early commitment will help recruit other top prospects, including his cousin Bear.

Minutes after 2026 four-star offensive lineman Bear McWhorter announced he’s withdrawing his commitment to Arkansas, his cousin made his support clear.

“God’s timing… I just know you’ll make the right decision1 Love ya, cuzzo,” replied Brodie to Bear’s post on X (Twitter).

Of course, their relationship sparked WVU fans to speculate on the possibility Bear could join his cousin in Morgantown.

Adding a player of Bear’s caliber would be a big piece for WVU’s 2026 class, but of course, the Mountaineers will have plenty of competition for him throughout the next year. Florida State, Penn State, Tennessee and Virginia Tech are all considered to be in play again. WVU sent Bear an official offer back in early January.
