WVU Football Getting in Early with 2027 4-Star WR Talent

Wanting to get in the mix as early as possible, the WVU football program sent an offer to one of the top 2027 talents on Monday. Quentin Burrell announced his West Virginia offer right after revealing another one from Big 12 school.

Burrell (6-foot-3, 195 pounds) is already considered a four-star wide receiver prospect and has seen his recruitment pick up steam in recent weeks. Arizona State, Auburn, Indiana, Penn State and Stanford have offered Burrell just in the last two weeks alone.
