West Virginia Pursuing Younger Recruits With Latest Offers

The days of college programs exclusively recruiting junior and senior student-athletes is no longer the case, with coaches starting the process of offering 9th graders and in some cases 8th graders.

Neal Brown and West Virginia proved that on Monday with a handful of offers to players, mostly in Pennsylvania.

Peter Jones: 2024 offensive tackle from Malvern Prep in Coatsville, Pennsylvania. Jones (6’5”, 290) also holds offers from Kentucky, Maryland and Virginia.
