WVU Football Hoping Larry Porter Helps Land 2027 4-Star RB

In an effort to make WVU football a running back factory, Rich Rodriguez and his staff sent an offer to a top recruit in the 2027 class. Amir Brown revealed that he received an offer from WVU this week on social media.

Brown (5-foot-11 and 205 pounds), who attends Rolesville High School in Raleigh, is a consensus four-star recruit and considered one of the top overall prospects in North Carolina. He was initially being recruited by West Virginia running backs coach Larry Porter to stay home and become a Tar Heel.
