To fully take advantage of hosting a big rivalry game like the Backyard Brawl, the WVU football program is welcoming in recruits and even players already committed to West Virginia to town on Saturday.

As one of the most notable prospects already apart of WVU’s 2026 class, Cameron Dwyer will back in Morgantown to soak up the moment.

Dwyer announced his commitment to the WVU football program in early April.

Dwyer, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound linebacker/safety from West Palm Beach, Fla., picked the Mountaineers over offers from East Carolina, FAU, JMU, Pitt, Tulane, USF, Wake Forest and several others.

247 Sports believes Dwyer’s decision came down to moving up north to West Virginia or staying in Florida and attending USF.

Most recruiting outlets view Dwyer as more of a linebacker than safety at the college level, but West Virginia has created a hybrid role in the past for similar players. Dwyer is viewed as a three-star prospect.

Dwyer experienced a full weekend official visit in June.
