WVU Football Bringing in Penn State 2026 DB/RB Commit for OV

After sending several offers since Sunday, the WVU football staff has an official visit locked up with a nearby Penn State commit.

David Davis, who attends Imani Christian Academy within Western Pennsylvania’s WPIAL, is already scheduled for a trip down south to Morgantown, per our partners at Pittsburgh Sports Now. Davis’ full visit is expected to occur in the coming weeks once West Virginia returns from their road trip to Florida for a matchup with UCF.

With experience as both a defensive back and running back, the 6-foot, 190-pound Davis is regarded as just an “athlete” by most national recruiting services.

Davis decided to re-open his recruitment on Sunday after Penn State fired James Franklin. West Virginia then sent him an offer hours later.

Extremely blessed to receive a offer from West Virginia university ⛰️ @Chise89 @CoachGF628 @WVUfootball @210ths @wpialsportsnews @Rivals @EdOBrienCFB pic.twitter.com/HyyIj1pd4t

“I love Penn State and I love being a Lion, but with the uncertainty of the current situation, my family and l are trying to make sure we make the best decision for the future. I’m going to re-open my recruitment,” posted Davis on social media.

He initially committed to be part of Franklin’s 2026 class on March 25 of this year. WVU was in Davis’ top six prior to his commitment.

Davis is considered a top 10 prospect in Pennsylvania and also had offers from Akron, Cincinnati, Ken State, Kentucky, Michigan State, Pitt, Tennessee and Toledo before locking in with Penn State.

In addition to West Virginia, North Carolina has shown recent interest in Davis.
