WVU Football Secures Commitment from 2026 TE Once Headed to SEC

The WVU football secured a commitment from a tight end for their 2026 class on Thursday.

Despite already informing the coaching staff of his decision earlier in the week, former Arkansas commit Kade Bush waited a few days before going public with it.

A Minnesota native, Bush (6-foot-4 and 220 pounds) initially committed to Arkansas in late May, but re-opened his commitment when the Razorbacks fired Sam Pittman.

Bush picked the Mountaineers over offers from fellow Big 12 program Kansas State, North Dakota State, Utah State, Washington State, Wyoming. He also visited Utah.

WVU sent him his offer just a couple weeks ago in early October.

He’s considered as one of the top 10 prospects in Minnesota by most major recruiting services.
