WVSN Notebook 7/2: WVU Football Loses Out on Top QB Target

The West Virginia Sports Now Daily Notebook is a daily recap of news concerning WVU Athletics.

Update (7:00 PM) – 

The Mountaineers thought they had their quarterback of the future, but Cincinnati ended up winning the commitment of Pennsylvania’s top rated quarterback.

Update (3:50 PM) – 

West Virginia holds commitments from a couple of offensive linemen in the class of 2024, but Ryan Howerton would be one the cornerstones of the class. And WVU is in the running.

Howerton — a 6-foot-5, 305-pound four-star offensive tackle from St. Vincent Pallotti in Laurel, Maryland —  has narrowed down his list of offers to just five: Howard, Maryland, Pitt, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.
