WVU Football Adds to Future Secondary with 2026 3-Star Commit

WVU Football added a commit to their future secondary in 2026 three-star Emory Snyder. The Oklahoma defensive back revealed his commitment with a graphic on social media.

Snyder (6-foot-4, 205 pounds) picked WVU over offers from programs like Colorado State, Rice, Washington State and several others. After being offered by WVU defensive coordinator Zac Alley in early February, Snyder made a couple trips to Morgantown and was vocal about his interest in West Virginia.

He also visited fellow Big 12 schools Oklahoma State and TCU recently.
