Trying to pivot the success of recruiting a strong 2026 class to the following year, WVU football sent an offer to a four-star linebacker on Thursday.
Iowa’s Tate Wallace (6-foot-2, 227 pounds) revealed his West Virginia offer on social media, saying he received a call directly from WVU defensive coordinator Zac Alley to inform him about the Mountaineers’ interest.
“After a great conversation with Coach Zac Alley, I’m blessed to receive an offer from West Virginia University!!,” posted Wallace.
