West Virginia’s recruiting calendar is filling up fast, and the Mountaineers are set to host a wave of visitors over the next few months.
One of the most notable names on the board is Celina (OH) offensive tackle Cash Patrick, who landed a West Virginia offer earlier this summer and now has a return trip penciled in for later in the fall. The 2028 prospect has seven visits lined up, with Indiana on September 5, Michigan State on September 13, Purdue on September 26, Pitt on October 10, Indiana again on October 17, West Virginia on November 14 and Toledo on November 20. The 6-foot-6, 280-pound lineman is originally from West Virginia and has been in contact with assistant offensive line coaches Treylen Brown and Derek Dressler.
This weekend, the Mountaineers will also see several familiar names back on campus. Quarterback Maddox Twigg, one of the biggest local attractions in the 2028 class, is making the trip across town to visit WVU again. Twigg received his offer last December after leading his team to a state title, and he has already been back multiple times, including for the summer 7v7 event.
He won’t be alone. Harrisburg (PA) Susquehanna Township linebacker Rick Brown, who committed to West Virginia in April, is also planning to be in town.
Brown was last on campus for his official visit over the summer and told EerSports that he will be on the sidelines Saturday. Fellow linebacker commit Mason Cerovac is coming as well.
The 247Sports three-star pledged to WVU in April, took his official visit in June and says he will make an unofficial game day trip Saturday while also looking into other games.
Tight end commit Luke Linder is another return visitor for the weekend. The three-star prospect picked up a mid-June offer from the Mountaineers, visited officially and committed almost immediately after. Linder is also a baseball star and appears on WVU’s Baseball commitment list on PerfectGame.
West Virginia’s fall slate will keep drawing more committed talent, too. Atlanta (GA) Westlake wide receiver Roscoe Hayes says he wants to see the Mountaineers at least twice.
His first stop will be in Charlotte for the UVA game, where he won’t be allowed to attend as an unofficial visitor because it’s a neutral-site matchup, but he plans to watch from the stands as a fan. Then he’ll be back in Morgantown for the Cincinnati game on December 17th, which lines up with his high school’s open week.
That same week, fellow commit Wesley Flamer is also expected in Morgantown. The Springfield (VA) St.
James standout told EerSports he plans to be there for the Cincinnati game as well. His school may or may not have an open week, since it is still trying to find an opponent for that Friday night, but either way, Flamer said he’ll make the trip.
