WVU Football Schedules Ohio TE for OV to Solidify Commitment

The WVU football staff will host their first commit for their 2026 class in June as they hope to completely solidify his future as a Mountaineer.

On Sunday, Ohio tight end Sam Hamilton revealed he’s taking an official visit to WVU the weekend of June 6-8.

Hamilton’s commitment came on Feb. 1 after spending time on campus for Junior Day. After being initially offered by Neal Brown’s staff, Hamilton was re-offered by West Virginia tight ends coach Michael Nysewander in January.

Nysewander then visited Hamilton at his home on Jan. 21 to schedule his trip to Morgantown.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Archbishop Moeller product out of Cincinnati also held offers from Power Four programs like Duke, Houston, Kentucky and Washington among others when committing to West Virginia.

In 2024, he caught 22 passes for 272 yards and scored five touchdowns while also earning All-Conference honors. He’s a complete player with an elite blocking ability.

Hamilton is rated as a three-star recruit and the No. 40 Ohio player in his class by 247 Sports.
