WVU Football Makes Top 8 of 2027 OL Dominic Black
Showing their long standing relationship with offensive lineman Dominic Black, WVU football made the cut on his most recent list of his top schools.
Black posted that West Virginia is one of eight programs still in the running, joining Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee and Virginia Tech.
Black, listed at 6-foot-5 and 295 pounds out of Ohio, was able to discover West Virginia’s vision for him during a one-on-one conversation with a coach during a February visit.
“Talked with Coach [Travis] Trickett about where I would be at freshmen year. Also, just about his coaching style and history on the offensive line.”
Black, mostly a tackle in high school, also said Trickett told him the Mountaineers believe he has the ability to play any position on the offensive line.
A 2027 product of Tri-Village High School in New Madison, Ohio, Black already has offers from 19 Division I schools. His top offers include Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan State, Pitt, Syracuse, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.
Black has also been drawing interest from Group of 5 level programs like Akron, Liberty, Marshall, Miami (OH) and Ohio.
